It’s a replacement process for the root portion of a missing natural tooth. Dental implants can be placed in either the upper or lower jaws.
With proper care, dental implants can last for decades, and in some cases, a lifetime. Regular dental checkups and cleanings, along with good oral hygiene habits, can help ensure the longevity of your dental implants.
Dental bridges are artificial teeth that fill the gap of one or more missing teeth. They are anchored to the remaining natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap.
Dental bridges can last for 5-15 years or longer with good oral hygiene. However, the lifespan of a dental bridge depends on several factors, including the materials used, the location of the bridge, and the patient’s oral hygiene habits.
