Should You Choose Individual Implants or a Dental Bridge?
Many patients worry whether using implants to support a dental bridge—where implants are placed at each end to hold a three-unit bridge—could lead to issues.
**Key Considerations for Dental Bridges on Implants:**
– Avoid overly long dental bridges.
– The underside of the bridge must be designed with a convex shape to prevent food debris accumulation and allow patients to clean using superfloss.
– Ensure cement between the crown and abutment is entirely cleaned, leaving no residue.
– Design the bridge so that cementing is done outside the mouth to reduce the risk of implant inflammation.
**Advantages of Dental Bridges on Implants:**
– Reduces the number of implants needed and minimizes surgical procedures.
– Avoids complex surgeries and bone grafting by bridging over areas with insufficient bone.
**Advantages of Individual Implants (1:1 Ratio):**
– Each implant can support its own chewing load effectively.
– Easier to clean using dental floss, similar to natural teeth.
– Simpler maintenance; issues can be resolved tooth by tooth.
Ultimately, consulting with your dentist is crucial to determine the most suitable treatment plan tailored to your needs.
