Dental Implants or Bridgework / Making The Best Choice with a Dentist in Tijuana

When you need to replace a missing tooth, there are two general alternatives to consider: You can choose traditional bridgework, or select the newer option of dental implants.  Both offer a solution that's reliable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing. However,  there are a few important differences between the two systems. A fixed bridge is a dental restoration that's held in place by attachment to the adjacent natural teeth,which are referred to as abutments.  The tooth-replacement section , called a “pontic” spans the gap. Pontics require attachment to the abutments by either a metal frame, or today, a space age porcelain, to bridge the space from abutment to abutment.  The system works well, but there's a catch: Even a single-tooth replacement requires  a three-unit bridge — and healthy adjacent teeth must be  “prepared” by removing their enamel, which increases the risk for root canals. These are basic procedures done at our clinic at Advanced Smiles Dentistry with Dr Julian De Anda.for more information call our clinic  (619) 488-1557 or email us at advancedsmiles2015@gmail.com
