Hey all,
Just wondering peoples experience with a dental bridge??
Please note - I know what the price and price difference is so don't need advice there.
Long story short, I have a baby tooth that unfortunately needs to be removed. Dentist has said, options are,
dental implant on one tooth.
Or bridge on 3 teeth (that will make my teeth nearly perfect)
Question being, experiences with bridges or implants?
I've heard of bridges going manky and it ends up destroying more and more teeth or am I thinking of a crown here??
Thanks all!!

I have a similar issue. I had an adult tooth removed at the back of my mouth and now need an implant or bridge. I have chosen the implant as bridging can damage the other teeth. Also an implant lasts longer than bridging.
Definitely the implant. I had to have my tooth removed (after a car accident) and currently have a bridge in place while they did some gum grafting and healing process. The bridge looks great (although it's only a temporary one) but it feels yuk and can tell it would start weakening the teeth eventually. I'm about to get my implant in shortly and I'll have another bridge or wear a retainer while that heals and then the crown will go on. The implant it a longer process and more expensive but definitely worth it especially if it's a very noticeable tooth.
