Which option is better to replace missing teeth, Implants, bridges or dentures?

For preparing bridges, adjacent healthy teeth need to be cut down in order to place the bridge. Removable dentures clasp the adjacent tooth for stability which makes that tooth mobile in the long run.
• Out of all teeth replacement options, dental implants is the only option which preserves the bone.
• Implants have better long term prognosis than bridges or dentures. Therefore, in the long run investment towards dental implants is lesser than other options.
• Implants are more natural looking.

How successful are implants?

90-95 percent success rate has been reported over a period of 10 years for implants. Many implants last for over 40 years also. This is significantly better than the success rates for other methods of tooth replacement, such bridges and dentures. Success depends on various factors like health and habits of the individual. Dental implants are resistant to decay. However they are susceptible to gum disease. Diligent home care and regular checkups by dentist are vital to maintain health of dental implant. As everybody is different, it is difficult to predict exactly how long your implant will last. If an implant fails it is possible to replace it with another implant of a larger size.

What will happen if I choose not to replace my missing teeth?

Teeth are lost for various reasons, during our lifetime. Missing front teeth can result in a visible empty space affecting your looks and confidence and can also affect your speech. Losing teeth causes other teeth to shift in the empty space. If the back teeth are lost, the jawbone begins to shrink which changes the shape of your face and may cause you to look prematurely aged.
