Getting A Dental Implant or Bridge Can Depend on Upon Your Oral Health
Getting A Dental Implant or Bridge Can Depend on Upon Your Oral Health
With a dental implant, a small titanium cylinder is placed in the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth. That cylinder bonds with the bone tissue to create an artificial root on top of which an abutment and later an artificial tooth are placed.
With a dental bridge, a pair or crowns are installed onto your natural teeth on either side of the gap. Those crowns are then used to create a bridge that holds an artificial tooth. The gap is covered, but the artificial tooth is not actually fixed to the jaw.
