COMPARING DENTAL BRIDGES AND IMPLANTS

At Nu Dentistry, we always want you to put your best smile forward on your terms

Dental bridges aren’t the only way to replace missing teeth. Another popular option is a dental implant. Both are excellent choices, but you deserve the option that works best for you and your smile’s needs.

Dental implants act the most like a natural tooth, using titanium screws or posts embedded in the jaw as their roots. This post is connected to an abutment and dental crown to complete your new tooth. There’s no need to reshape neighboring teeth to support your false teeth. This change helps keep the jaw healthier and whole long-term. However, the implant process is also extensive, taking multiple surgical appointments. They also can take between 6 months to a year to complete. However, with good care, implants can last decades to a lifetime. In comparison, a dental bridge only needs two visits and requires much less intensive treatments. It’s also a much more affordable option, especially when replacing multiple teeth. Our office also offers implant-supported bridges when replacing three or more teeth at a time. By anchoring your bridge’s crowns on implants rather than neighboring teeth, we can get the best of both worlds with your false teeth. Implant bridges offer more stability to your bite and dental health while saving you time and money.

YOUR DENTAL CROWN OPTIONS

At Nu Dentistry, we have multiple types of dental crowns available so you always put your best smile forward

ALL-PORCELAIN

Porcelain crowns combine aesthetics and durability, allowing for a natural-looking dental crown that can stay in great shape for 10 to 15 years on average. With good care, they can last more than 20 or 25 years. All-porcelain crowns allow for the most realistic appearance, closely matching your teeth so they easily blend in with the rest of your smile.

PORCELAIN-FUSED-TO-METAL

PFM dental crowns have a porcelain exterior that covers a sturdier metal base underneath. This allows them to maintain a natural appearance while better withstanding the pressures your mouth experiences daily, from chewing and mealtimes to dental accidents. Like all-porcelain crowns, PFM crowns can last 20 years or more with excellent care and maintenance.

METAL

Metal crowns are typically made of a mixture of compound metals, including silver, chromium, nickel, palladium, and platinum. While they don’t look natural, they trade aesthetics for strength and durability. Metal crowns are highly resistant against cracking and chipping, and they can take more force and pressure. Metal crowns can last up to 30 years.

GOLD

These are the longest-lasting dental crowns, even compared to other metal crowns. Gold is just as strong as other metals while wearing down at the same rate as natural enamel. Together, this allows these crowns to easily last more than 40 years to a lifetime with good care.

RESTORE MISSING TEETH WITH DENTAL BRIDGES

Complete your smile in style with a dental bridge

After tooth extraction, dental crowns can help you restore your missing tooth with a dental bridge. Bridges are composed of two dental crowns with a false tooth (pontic) between them. How does a tooth bridge work? By placing the bridge’s crowns onto the two neighboring teeth on either side of the tooth gap, the pontic can neatly and securely fill the empty socket. The abutment teeth will be trimmed and reshaped to fit the crowns, just as our dentists do for standard dental crown procedures.

Dental bridges are also flexible to your needs. Depending on your smile, a single bridge can easily replace up to four missing teeth in a row simultaneously. Our office’s bridges are designed to both look and feel natural, restoring your old bite and smile in just two appointments. There are many advantages to replacing your missing teeth with a dental bridge—beyond the aesthetic. They can:

  • Help retain your facial structure after losing teeth
  • Stabilize your bite and make eating easier
  • Restore and improve speech
  • Prevent your remaining teeth from moving out of alignment
  • Improve your self-confidence

Are you ready to finally repair the missing gaps in your smile with a natural-looking dental bridge? Call our dental office at (713) 489-0538.

Implants

When expertly performed, dental implants are one of the best options of permanently restoring missing teeth. Dental implants function as a substitute for your tooth's natural root. This prevents bone deterioration. Apart from that, having dental implants as replacement teeth will maintain the health of all the adjacent teeth helping you preserve your existing teeth. When cared for and maintained properly, dental implants can last a lifetime.

Crown & Bridge FAQ

Your dental crown cost depends on the material used. For example, all-porcelain dental crowns are the most costly, while metal and PFM crowns are more affordable. Gold crowns typically land between these two ranges. Additional treatments, like root canals and dental implants, can also impact the cost of your treatment. Dental crowns are also typically covered by dental insurance, so be sure to check with your provider beforehand.

Back teeth experience more daily pressure as they take on the full force of your bite, so stronger materials are needed to ensure dental crowns on these teeth last. A dental crown’s durability depends on the material chosen and your own lifestyle habits. For example, porcelain-type crowns can last 10 to 15 years on average. Most metal crowns can last around 30 years, while gold crowns can last 40 years to a lifetime. However, poor dental hygiene and nightly teeth grinding can reduce a crown’s durability, sometimes requiring replacement in as little as 5 years.

A temporary crown is placed on your tooth at the end of your first appointment. They are made of less sturdy materials and are only meant to last a few weeks while your permanent dental crown is made. The permanent crown is the one made of porcelain, metal, or a combination of the two that is meant to stay in great condition for decades to a lifetime.

PFM crowns have a porcelain surface, but there is also a metal rim at the bottom that is typically submerged below the gum line. While it is usually invisible, receding gums and gum disease can reveal this dark margin at the crown’s base. This can often be reversed with good dental hygiene. However, in some cases, it may be a sign to see our dentist for an examination.

Dental bridges can vary in cost based on several factors, including the type of bridge, the materials used, the number of teeth replaced, and the missing teeth’s location. Additionally, implant-supported dental bridges will require more costs than traditional ones to place the implants and perform any other necessary treatments, such as bone grafting.

A dental bridge keeps your false tooth in place using the teeth on either end of the tooth gap as anchors. The bridge’s crowns are secured to those abutment teeth so the pontic in-between can easily fill the gap. A dental implant is instead inserted directly into the jaw via oral surgery. Depending on your specific needs, this can take several appointments and months to complete.

“The Best Dentist In Spring”
Sandra Archuleta

We have been looking for a family dentist for a long time, we have tried a bunch of places but nothing felt quite like home. Not too long ago we stumbled upon Nu Dentistry and met Dr. Ali. Not only was he professional, kind, and gentle, but he always finds a way to fit us in when we need an appointment. He’s also pretty funny! I appreciate that he takes the time to explain what he’s doing, before he does it. That really puts me at ease.

“Never Thought I'd Say It”

I never thought I’d say it, but going to the dentist is actually fun now. I recently came in for a root canal, and I got to sit back and catch up on Stranger Things without any pain!

“Anxiety Has Kept Me Away ”
Johnathan Smits

I usually have such huge anxiety when I go to a dentist appointment, which means I always put off visits until the last minute to disastrous consequences. However, Dr. Loggins helped me with sedation, so the entire process was a breeze!
