A dental implant is a titanium post that is surgically placed in the jaw bone to support an artificial tooth. A bridge is supported by two crowns placed over healthy teeth with an artificial tooth suspended between them. The artificial tooth in a bridge, called a pontic, has no root system, making it less sturdy than a dental implant and more likely to cause damage to the healthy teeth over time.
