The best option for you depends on your needs and your unique situation. Dental bridges and dental implants are both solutions to replace missing teeth. However, the procedures, cost, and durability are what make them so different. While a dental implant can last a lifetime, it requires two surgeries over the course of six months to be permanently affixed to your jaw bone.
The cost of a dental implant is determined on a case-by-case basis depending on your needs and the details of the surgery. Dental bridges are a more affordable option to replace missing teeth, however, the cost depends on the number of teeth being replaced. A complete restoration consists of two appointments over the course of two weeks.
Unlike dental implant surgery, there is virtually no recovery time for bridges, so you can begin enjoying the benefits of a complete smile right away. If you’re interested in replacing gaps in your smile, schedule a consultation with Dr. Villalobos by calling (561) 744-0677. During the consultation, he’ll examine your oral health and discuss your treatment options so you can make an informed decision.
