DENTAL IMPLANT – THE SECOND TOOTH

IMPLANT, BRIDGE AND DENTURE

	IMPLANT		BRIDGE	DENTURE
Method	Artificial Titanium material shaped as roots placed in bone		Grinding of adjacent teeth which are later connected	Gum impression (measurement) after which denture is placed
Tooth damage	No adjacent tooth damage		Adjacent teeth grinding necessary	Gums might be subjected to extra pressure
Biting force	Near normal		Slightly lesser; good but pressure transferred to supporting teeth reducing their lifespan	Noticeably less; “something better than nothing concept”
Treatment duration	3-6 months		Few days	Few days to weeks
Longevity	Lasts a lifetime with proper maintenance		10-15 years; but over time tends to weaken the supporting teeth.	Needs replacement every few years; support from gums and underlying bone so eats them away over a period of time.
Cost	Expensive initially but lasts longer		Less expensive	Less expensive at first but replacement costs are present
