Do I Need Dental Implants or a Dental Bridge?

February 9, 2018 | General Dentistry

Southcentre Dental Clinic in Calgary provides a range of dental implant options to restore incomplete smiles due to missing teeth. Dr. Jennifer Silver offers personalized consultations to determine which option is the best fit for each patient.

Patients who are missing more than one tooth can choose between dental implants and dental bridges. Dental implants offer several benefits, including a natural appearance, comfort and function, a low-maintenance regimen, and natural jaw and gum stimulation. Additionally, they can offer future cost benefits. However, in some cases, a dental bridge may be a more suitable option for patients who prefer to avoid surgery, have significant bone loss in the jaw, or prefer to make a smaller financial investment up front.

To determine which dental implant option is right for you, schedule a consultation with Dr. Silver at Southcentre Dental Clinic. Contact us at (403) 278-1415 to book your appointment.
