Why are dental implants better than a traditional fixed bridge?
With a traditional crown and bridge system, we must crown the healthy teeth on either side of the space the bridge will fill. The healthy teeth’s crowns hold the fixed bridge in place. Implants, however, require no alteration of healthy tooth structure. The implant posts can be positioned in the sockets that formerly held teeth. An implant-supported bridge connects to the implant posts rather than healthy teeth.
