Pros and Cons of Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are known to be a highly effective way to replace missing teeth or even a single tooth. However, there are some clear pros and cons of dental bridges when it comes to this type of replacement technology. For example, while dental bridges can restore functionality and improve overall appearance, dental implants tend to be more secure and long-lasting. That said one of the advantages of choosing to go with dental bridges is that no surgery is required to implant titanium rods into the jawbone. For those who are anxious about surgery, dental bridges may be a better option. Best of all, dental bridges may be a more cost-effective option than dental implants would be. 

Encouraging Good Jawbone Mass 

Another key consideration when it comes to dental bridges is that of bone mass integrity in the jawbone. For example, one of the benefits of choosing dental implants is that they help to maintain bone mass better in the jawbone. With bridges, there is no added benefit when it comes to encouraging good jawbone mass. In other words, when dental implants are placed, they mimic natural tooth roots resulting in improved bone mass in the jaw. With implants, overall dental health benefits in this regard. Conversely, with bridges, there may be continued loss of jawbone mass over time.
