What is the difference between dental implant, porcelain bridge and all-porcelain bridge?
Which is more recommended for people with missing teeth?
Hello, doctor. I would like to ask what are the differences between dental implant, porcelain bridge and all-porcelain bridge, and which one is better for those with tooth loss?
A: Hello, it’s my pleasure to answer your question.
The difference between dental implant, porcelain bridge and full porcelain bridge: Dental implant: the artificial root (implant) is planted in the missing tooth of the jaw, and the crown is put on to complete the artificial tooth implantation technology, which does no harm to the adjacent teeth.
Porcelain bridge and all-porcelain bridge: the two adjacent teeth near the missing tooth need to be ground down and used as abutment teeth, and the finished crown is put on, just like a bridge, so they are called porcelain bridge and all-porcelain bridge.
Differences between porcelains bridge and all-porcelains bridge: Both use the same technology and different crown materials. Porcelains bridge is a prosthesis containing metal, while all-porcelains bridge does not. In comparison, all-porcelains are better than porcelains.
Doctors suggest: in the restoration of missing teeth, more recommended to use dental implant technology, because there is no harm to the adjacent teeth, of course, the price will be relatively higher.
It depends on your budget and your dental condition.
