A Bridge or a inplant ?!
Question:
I need to have work done on my top front teeth. Because of a root canal my tooth won't stay in anymore. And my dentist says that I need ether a bridge or a inplant. Money is short so I decided to go with the bridge. I didn't start it yet so I need to know if I've made the right decision.
Answers:
For front teeth, I strongly recommend the bridge.

Implants cost a minimu7m of 1,000 dollars each. Bridges are relatively cheap and look just as great! Depends on how much money you have. Most insurances won't cover either and implants are seen as cosmetic---Check your wallet
bridge is better if your on a budget and truth is, only advantage to an implant is that you don't have to enlist the help of the other teeth to keep it in place but there are problems with implants too like what if your body rejects it, and it can work it's way out again. why pay tons o money when it's otherwise six of one half dozen of another
I have to get some dental work too, I need a bridge as well as an implant but I haven't gotten it done yet, I would go with the bridge especially if you have other teeth the bridge can be connected to. Implants is surgical, they have to open up your gums and insert some type of steel post that will hold the tooth, and its more expensive.
My dentist recommended the implant because the bridge means you have to mess with the healty teeth on either side of the bad tooth. You are right, it is expensive, but I am happy with mine. It's top front tooth and you can't tell its not real.
An implant is permanent and more aesthetically pleasing, but much more costly. If at all possible, go with the implant.
If they do a bridge they usually do all for incisors so the colour is the same . so it costs the same as four caps. Not every one can have an implant - it depends on your bone density and how low your sinus cavities are. if they are very low first they have to build them up- extra bucks.
