I am getting my broken tooth replaced

2018-05-13 11:03:47
Hi, My front tooth broke about 15 years back. I visited a doctor nd he diagnosed via x-ray that the bone in my gums has not grown back so implant cannot be done. He recommended me tooth bridge. He said that tooth bridge can sustain life long which costs around 6000 per tooth. I want to now if the tooth bridge can sustain life on or needs to be replaced every 5-10 years ?

Dental bridges have around 13 % chances of developing cavities over a period of10 years.Whenever feasible dental implants are best option for long term.

Implant is the best option for replacement. If bone is inadequate there are ways to still go for an implant. A dentist after a thourogh clinical and radiological examination can plan a treatment that suits your needs.

Bridges need to be replaced at some point. After a few years your gum may show changes and also there is micro leakage under bridges. After 5-7 years bridges may require replacement
