Dental Implants Or Dental Bridge, Which Is Right For Me? (blog)

March 29, 2018

There are more options than ever before for patients who have lost teeth. But with so many options available, it can be hard to decide which solutions would work best for you.

Fortunately, at New Albany Implants, we can help make the decision easier. Dr. Ron Receveur, Dr. Bradley Frederick, and the rest of our experienced staff have the knowledge and experience necessary to help you decide whether you would most benefit from dental implants or a dental bridge to replace your missing teeth.

We encourage you to visit us at our New Albany, IN dentist office so we can have a look at your teeth. In the meantime, learn more about dental implants and dental bridges to see which one sounds like a better fit for you.

Dental Implants

Dental implants function as roots of replacement teeth. They provide a durable foundation for replacement teeth both removable and fixed. The many advantages of dental implants include:

  • Better appearance.

Dental implants look just like natural teeth, giving you a complete smile that looks just like the real thing. You may even be surprised by how much your self-esteem and self-image improves with a completely restored smile.

  • Better speech.

Missing teeth or poor-fitting dentures can affect your speech and cause you to slur or mumble your words. With dental implants, you’ll have a complete set of teeth that won’t move around, ensuring your speech is much clearer.

  • Better comfort.

Dental implants fuse with your bone, essentially becoming a part of your mouth. This saves you the discomfort and hassle of removable dentures.

  • Easier eating and drinking.

With dentures that move all over the place or holes in your smile from missing teeth, mealtime can be difficult. With dental implants, we can replace missing teeth in a way that won’t cause you any inconvenience. It’s like eating and drinking with your natural teeth!

  • Better oral health.

With dental implants, we don’t have to rely on other teeth (like with a dental bridge), and we can leave more of your natural teeth intact. Being able to keep more of your natural teeth, as long as they’re healthy, is better for your oral health in the long run. Additionally, individual implants are easier to clean when removing plaque and bacteria from in between your teeth.

  • Convenience.

With dental implants, you don’t have to worry about removing your dentures. You also don’t have to bother with messy adhesives to hold your dentures in place.

  • Dependability.

If cared for properly, dental implants can last a lifetime. They’re just as durable as your natural teeth which means you can depend on your dental implants to function just like your real teeth would.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are named as such because they bridge the gap left behind by one or more missing teeth. With a bridge, we use two or more crowns on either side of the space as anchors or abutment teeth. Those crowns are used to secure the replacement tooth in place.

At New Albany Implants we use metal-free zirconium bridges. With a dental bridge, we can:

  • Restore your smile by filling in the spaces where you’ve lost teeth.
  • Give you the ability to eat and speak properly.
  • Correct your bite.
  • Prevent the movement of your remaining teeth to protect your smile and maintain your oral health.

Implants VS Bridges: Which Is Best For Me?

When it comes time to decide option is right for you, it’s best to sit down for a consultation with a specialist. At New Albany Implants, Dr. Receveur or Dr. Frederick can take a closer look at your mouth and individual situation to come up with the best treatment plan for you.

We value your input, so a consultation with us is treated like an open and honest discussion. We will work together to make sure you get the results you’re looking for.

To schedule a consultation, call our New Albany, IN office at 888-469-3982 or contact us online.

I’m the type of person that is scared of the dentist have been my whole life. I scheduled consultation with Dr Ron and he answered all my questions and more. He and his staff are great they made me feel comfortable the whole time. They used sedation for my implant procedure and it was the best decision I have ever made!! I had zero pain whatsoever. The best thing is that they have gave me the ability to smile again and to be happy. Thank you to everyone at New Albany Implants. I recommend them to anyone needing dental implants.

Amazing experience. If anyone is anxious about seeing a dentist I can assure you don’t have to be with Dr. Receveur. My only regret is not having it done sooner. His staff is pretty awesome too.

I recently had implants put in by Dr. Receveur. I was scheduled to have sedation that morning, but wasn't able to due to my sugar issues from diabetes. He assured me he would keep me comfortable so I agreed to go ahead with the procedure. He did just that, he kept me comfortable as promised and I didn't feel a thing. During the procedure he also talked to me the whole time explaining what he was doing, which also helped ease my anxiety. The entire staff there are so nice and informative, they can answer any questions you may have. All I can say is to anyone that is hesitant to have this procedure done, I honestly wish I would have had this done a long time ago! Dr. Receveur and his staff are AMAZING, and I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!
