Which is better a dental bridge or implant? 

DA here and from my experience, both options have pros and cons. Bridges are better for posterior teeth as they perform better when grinding food than cutting into it. They are cheaper and with proper care can last minimum 30 years to a lifetime. Ideally a 3 or 4 unit bridge is all you need if you are missing teeth. If you need more than a 4 unit bridge then a partial denture is more likely to be the best choice, especially if the front teeth are the concern as they look more aesthetically pleasing. They are also cheap short term but any subsequent visits due to improper care or multiple replacement can add up. An implant can be used to replace any tooth that is missing anywhere in the mouth. They are obviously stronger, sturdier, and can withstand more bite force as they are screwed and anchored in the jaw bone. They are more expensive but in the long run can make up for it as they last for a lifetime. If your body rejects the post that is screwed, and feel symptoms within the following months then it is recommended to extract the post and consider a bridge or a denture (depending on how many teeth are missing). Obviously you have to do a lot of research and ask your dentist a lot of questions before making any decisions because both are expensive treatment. Additionally, assess yourself. Do you grind at night or during daytime? Do you have underlying health issues? Did you inherit any disease from your parents? Are you allergic from the common materials used in dentistry? All of these are important questions to guide you with choosing the right treatment.

Though I'm aware that implants work well for a lot of people, I was one of those who had 2 implant failures. It was expensive, painful & time consuming. As a result, I think it's wise to look into all available options & choose the one that's best suited for you.

I have same bridge as on video for last 35 years still good and see dentist twice a year / clean : check up

The reality is that both methods can have their drawbacks and complications. I would urge anybody considering either, to view a number of clips from different sources. This one is very biased towards implants. The key to success is to find a dentist who has a good track record and who will honestly spell out the pros and cons (and costs over time) of each solution option. Having said that, it probably isn't possible to be 100% certain that problems won't surface in the future even if you do have a good dentist. In that scenario though, a good dentist will still steer you right.

A tooth can be rebuilt similarly to the implant variant but using a stiff and resin instead much like a filling. It is especially reasonable if a tooth is broken not lost completely. Crowning is a bad idea because other teeth are harmed. Implants may have complications. Do I'd opt for the above described scenario.

there is a type of bridge that does not require grinding down healthy teeth each side of the replacement tooth, a Maryland Bridge is a porcelain tooth with a porcelain "wing" on the back that is bonded to the back of one the adjacent teeth, that process is non invasive, I have two teeth replaced in that way at the front of my mouth and it works perfectly, it is way cheaper than an implant, my dentist advised against an implant even though I was willing to pay the price , he said they were too problematic and prone to infection and gum disease, to be honest I would never have an implant to replace one or two individual teeth, a maryland bridge is the best option , it totally worked for me.

i don't like the idea of a bridge, the missing tooth is only floating above the gum just to look normal, while two perfectly healthy neighboring teeth get destroyed in the process.

Eu fiz implante e hj em dia tenho sérios problemas , claro que a pinte é bem pior

Very good advice. Thanks a lot.

Both look good at the end of it all.

Great and satisfying work doctor ❤❤

Im about to get a bridge having temporary crowns but im also worried about taking this option because of the cavities that can possibly damage my teeths but can't step back at this time, they grinded up where my bridge is gonna sit already, just waiting on my bridge to arrive possibly next week 🙏

What if u lost 2 incisors 1 at the top and 1 at the bottom The 2 teeth to the left and right of both missing teeth are fractured significantly

Is it better to remove the lower molar tooth?..after rct and crowing it's costing too much..so..im deciding to remove both of my lower molar teeth

Implant is an expensive treatment, longer time needed. It also has some complications . Sometimes Implant may failure.

Vor der Implantat ist mir genau so was passiert, mit der kronen, mein Kiefer hatte so ein entzündung das sogar beim Zahn ziehen, nach 3 spritzen hatte immer noch Schmerzen, Mit Brücke verliert man auch gesunde Zähne.

Entonces ninguno de las dos opciones son para personas diabéticas?

I have seen receeding gums with implants too, will you comment please(I am missing 3 front and 2 lower back)

Wait a minute, the dentist in uk, would carryout a sinus lift. So that info is incorrect.

How are possibilities to have headache every two days after an long time keeping the bridge. I have the bridge since 2014 but now i have head pain and tension on the front of the head so can this be caused from the dental bridge.

Im still thinking if dental implant isn't a any side effects to us if ever?

Is implant availanle in bangladesh

When you have a CT or a MRI done can you remove those out of your mouth since one of those are both has metal in them

The Ribbond technique is much more effective. Basically attach a pontic tooth on a bridge between the two adjacent teeth. Guaranteed to last, little risk of any periodontal disease and non invasive as the other two. And also not expensive. Be careful that some dentists will recommend one of the two to milk you.

An implant worked for me even if my case was one of those 2% complicated ones.

Respected dentists/BDSs this post of mine is for my mental health regarding dentistry. I got my lower left incisor tooth (single tooth) crowned just for cosmetic purposes. Although I requested it but I wasn't aware that crowning of tooth is an invasive procedure. It was half dicolored from the gum line & wasn't too visible either. It been more than 2.5 years since I got the crown by a dental technician. I am somewhat in remorse over my decision to get the tooth crowned as my tooth enamel was significantly drilled & just a peg tooth remained over which a pfm crown was fitted. Although there was pain sometimes in the first year but as of now there isn't any pain for quite a long time. Sometimes some questions do pop up in my mind that I shouldn't have done this. Also, can crown work well as we age & step in old age as I will need a crown for ever as no one likes gaps in their teeth. (I'm a male, 35 years age). Please help me cope with such unsettling thoughts.

I lost a front tooth year’s ago. I just got one tooth on a metal frame. It’s perfect

Вот у меня как раз подобная ситуация из-за моста все зубы приехали , как же я жалею , что сразу имплант не поставил 🥺

How much one tooth to replace please

El implante es mejor, pero basado a una experiencia con una compañera de trabajo Ella SE hiso UN implante y le costo fractura en la quijada. En mi opinion las dos son opciones pero a la vez son armas de doble filo dependiendo a la que uno elija escojer...

So do porcelain veneers ruin your teeth?

You’re not talking about all the possible complications with an implant only with the bridge. This sounds very biased.

I made one tooth partial denture of a lateral incisor of my friend 30 years back and he is still using it till today. And his younger brother is a dentist and my friend. All these years one can imagine an ordinary acrylic partial denture, did the job, Free of charge. And recently I made a similar tooth upper lateral incisor partial denture for my daughter, she had a peg shaped lateral incisor, which was mobile and came out naturally. I made the lateral incisor in ceramic and made an acrylic one tooth removable denture. And she is happy. As it looks natural, she is comfortable with it. If properly made ordinary acrylic partial denture can last more than 30 years. Or one can change every 10 years with minimum cost. Millions of bucks can be saved. But ?...

How much for a bridge

How much for a bridge per tooth...

School wali battisi kitne mein lagegi school wali

from my experience having a front bridge is really only cosmetic because you cant bite into an apple or eat spare ribs and if you could you risk breaking one of the teeth because it has been ground down and more then likely had a root canal. I got twenty years from mine and instead of having a two tooth gap from an accident it turned into four. If you loose your teeth from an accident and the health system covers dental costs insist on implants. Implants are more natural and doesnt require adjacent teeth being used as support posts which will fail in time and you end up with a bigger problem.

No hay punto de comparación, el implante es la mejor opción, los puentes necesitan modificar otras piezas dentales, en cambio los implantes se centran en la pieza faltante. Tengo 4 implantes hace 13 años y no he tenido ningún inconveniente.

How much cost each teeth?

With implants you can get metal-sensitivity and auto-immune issues such as extreme fatigue, skinproblems, thyroid problems and allergies..

Should i get an implant at 19 as people say there might be implant failure or should i just leave the space will it cause problems in future ??

I had a bridge, lasted 15 years. It fell of automatically. The dentist I saw, I think she lied to me told me I gad an absar, on my tooth that was shaved and needed root canal, I wasn't given antibiotics instead she extracted my tooth. I went to another dentist and she recommend dentures. I wanted a bridge but she said it won't last long bevoz now it's 5 teeth. I considered implants but that's do costly. I really want the implants for my top teeth. I might take a loan, I hope it last a lifetime.. But for now it's dentures I can't walk around toothless.

Bone loss, to me, can apply to both applications. In plants are WAY TOO EXPENSIVE!!!

The implants is a good choice I know people that had crowns and the whole crown fell out with the tooth attached

Got bridges a few months back, and although they're okay, I wish I had known more about implants at that time 😩. Your video, in addition to Kriss AI's explanation, adds to the reasons why I now regret getting bridges 🥺. Would it still be possible to switch from bridges to implants Dr. Shah?

People using single tooth denture are the smartest of all.

Is this painful

Not correct. Implant and bridge have comparable prognosis. Periimplantitis and loss of implant also happens regularely.

You can get the bridge work done with the metal implants on every second tooth.

Im so sad becuase i lost a tooth im 20 right now i dont know i should get implant or bridge ?

the single fact the method destroy a helathy teeth, is just non acceptable to me. If an implant fails, feels like there must be other material options that might not, but detroy a teeth is a no-no in my mind. Moreover is highly traumatic overtime since you just don't stop, its a never ending problem over problem. See bridges done is Heart breaking.

Geez, neither sounds good to me…

why cant i just stick i peieace of wood in the soace where my teeth is missing>?

If the bridge will turn like that, meaning it needs more studies. To make it more better, maybe don't do too much grinding. Everything is about money. 😜

To me the bridge is better implants expensive and can also cause an allergic reaction

Minha próxima conquista 🌹🌹🌹🌹

I have minor pain after screw placement

What should I do? I am having dame condition as in video even same tooth. My doctor has removed the implant because previously it was fixed with an implant and it was about to cause cancer in bones.

I’m so glad I got the implant. Very expensive but bettering run. I had to I place placement done yesterday and now in lot of pain but I remind myself it’s a good solution for long run

And the price of this dental implant........... About 6,000 BUCS and dental insurance will rarely cover half

I lost my one teeth arround 8 years back in 2015. I went for the bridge option thinking drilling implant will be painful which is actually not. Now after 8 years in 2023 adjacent teeths are also decayed and infected bcoz you cannot brush or take care the teeth which is behind the bridge. The bridge has been removed automatically. Now I am going for implant of 3 teeths. This video is exactly what happens over time. Anyone who had gone through implant in their life and facing any issue. Plz comment if you have gone through this not your relatives or friends

humans are doing things they aren't supposed to be doing to their bodies.

Watching this after doing bridge treatment for posterior tooth. I am 21 and regretting the decision after watching this video.

But the big but is the cost of the implant compared to the bridge.

Atrophy can be prevented by doing a bone graft beneath the removed tooth.

There are many valid comments which should be taken seriously. This is indeed a biased presentation. I am a recently retired dentist, who has provided many bridges and implants for many years. Unlike some practitioners I don’t just wholesale recommend an implant in every case. The dentition and patient as a whole needs to be taken into consideration, and some future predictions ought to be made.... I call it crystal ball gazing!

But as per my dentist 30% dental implant fails. The metal that they used is triennium are not accepted by many human beings ,hence again need to go for extraction of screw .Also implant cost double or triple than dental bridge . implant is almost a full surgical procedure

*after 1 implant i have bone loss..*

implant cost?

We are not stupid, your bias toward implant by making the bridge photo have yellow teeth vs the implant with white teeth. Passing on this video for that reason alone

this is why i am not letting them extract my teeth.

but there is a risk to implants. All goes well if the surgery is succesful without issues. But the risks are that the dentist can make a mistake and drill too far, puncturing sinuses or damaging nerves.

حتى انتوا

I have both, implants and bridges. Bridges have never given me issues while implants- dont get me started. Biggest irreversible BS in my life. From chronic smells to numerous infections. Worst decision of my life.

Implant looks better, if it was cheaper.

I will never get dental implants after seeing a documentary on them a few years ago.

God bless god help god grace my teeth bridge 😭🙏 for forever

Is a joke question? Dental implant is infinitely better than a bridge.

本当に警戒すべきはインプラントでしょ、

Why would you want to do a bridge the 2nd time .. it's a never ending cycle..sheessh...

Враньё, у меня мост стоит больше 20 лет и всё отлично

I lost a tooth 15 years ago Now i want implant Buy I'm confused between implant and bridge option

❤❤❤

I regret watching this video ☹️ I am having dental bridge after a month What should I do

Nag dugang naman ang akon i-i sang akon nga ngipon,na heel- 😅😅

Hahaha only the bad side effects of the bridges but not implants? 😂😂😂😂😂 , i know it's too bad if you laugh too loudly , but during the time i watch this video , i can't help it but laughing out loud 😂😂😂😂

All this depressing

Implants are just too expensive!

WHAT IS BETTER A SEX TRAFFIC COVER UP BY KRB OR BY HOUSTON METHODIST OR RICE?

Definitely an implant but it is much more expensive.

So if it’s less work why the hell is an implant so much more expensive… screw all dentists

This video looks painful 😭

I know someone who is missing one teeth and the dentist said he needs two implants $3,600 each. The guy was born with a natural breach and the dentist wants to cover that breach with an implant tooth. Implants are way too expensive, so for him, he is using simple prothese for now and thinking to decide with method he will choose. For me both methods are dangerous and implants’ prices are too expensive to me. $7,200 for one natural tooth missing, this is crazy

Don’t suggest a Maryland bridge!

Implants are better but cost three times as much as implants.

The bridge is just a waste of time
