When someone is
missing a tooth, they have several options available for tooth replacement. One option is to have a bridge.
However, anchoring a bridge requires the teeth on either side of the missing
tooth to be “prepared” or cut down. It is often the case that two healthy
teeth need to be cut down just to replace a missing tooth between them.
One of the great advantages
of dental implants is that adjacent teeth are
left untouched. A single dental implant is a one-for-one tooth
replacement. When it comes to replacing a missing tooth, dental implants
are the most conservative option, not only because they look and function like
natural teeth, but also because they do not
require adjacent, health teeth to be ground down and used as an anchors for an
old-fashioned bridge.
