The big difference

Comparison of conventional methods and dental implants

The bridge solution

With conventional methods, the two healthy neighbouring teeth have to be ground down in order to fix a bridge in place. This results in a loss of natural tooth surface. Because the bridge does not transmit chewing forces to the jaw bone, bone deterioration may occur.

The implant solution

The dental implant replaces the missing tooth root. The healthy neighbouring teeth remain completely intact and are not ground down.
