Why should I replace a missing tooth with a dental implant vs. a fixed bridge?
• Implants have a high success rate (better than 97% for 10 years) • Fixed bridges generally need to be replaced every 10 years • Cavities on adjacent teeth is the #1 reason for fixed bridge failure • Fifteen percent of fixed dental bridges require root canals • Adjacent teeth are not detrimentally affected by dental implants • Dental Implants offer peace of mind
