If you’re a long-time dental bridge wearer, you may feel somewhat conflicted. On one hand, upon realizing that you could consider dental implants for yourself, you felt pulled in that direction because they offer a wealth of unique advantages that are hard to pass up. On the other hand, you actually like your bridge, so you wonder: If you make the change, are you going to have a hard time transitioning to this new prosthetic? Will you get to bring all the things you love about your bridge into the future with you, as you switch to restored implants? The short answer is: Yes! The longer answer, of course, is concisely answered by our Santa Rosa, CA team!
The Fixed Nature Of A Bridge
If you selected a dental bridge for yourself, then you may have done so because you preferred a fixed device over the removability of a partial denture. Fortunately, if you would like to change over to dental implants and any restoration, whether a bridge, partial, or crowns, you will be pleased with the fixed nature of implants! They are even more stable than a bridge because they are not simply bonded to teeth. They are implanted and then fuse with your jawbone. It’s about as fixed as a tooth replacement can get!
The Natural Appearance
Have you been pretty happy with your dental bridge because of the natural way that it looks? Fortunately, regardless of the pathway you take with dental implants, you can expect unsurpassed beauty with lifelike materials. The future includes a completely natural looking grin!
The Ease Of Care
If you enjoy the fact that cleaning your smile and your dental bridge is quite easy, we are happy to report that you’ll be enjoying the same simple level of maintenance! There are no special accessories or items to consider. Instead, you’ll just brush and floss as you have been if you switch over to an implant-supported bridge. Or, if you decide that you would prefer implants and crowns, dental hygiene will feel exceptionally easy, as it will feel like you’re brushing and flossing natural teeth.
Your Complete Access To The Foods You Enjoy
Just as your smile with implants is going to look natural and seem natural to care for, it will also function very closely to a natural smile, even more so than a bridge allows. If you’ve been pleased that a bridge makes it easy for you to enjoy complete access to the foods you love, then this will absolutely continue, thanks to the stability of implants!
