If you’re considering the choice between dental bridge and dental implant, you may be asking what is the main difference? If you don’t know what a dental implant is, please feel free to check out the description here.
The main difference is the end result with aftercare and the amount of healing time needed. Both can get esthetically pleasing results and functionally. The Bridge has more nooks and crannies where food can find its way under while The Implant resembles more of a natural tooth. A Dental Bridge will take however long the dental lab takes to fabricate the bridge (2-3 weeks). A Dental Implant may need anywhere between 4-6 months of total healing time between procedures (grafting if necessary, implant placement and final restoration).
