If an implant is not placed, the gap here can only be filled with a bridge, by reducing the teeth in front and behind the gap and combining them with a body that passes through this gap, which we call a bridge prosthesis, and creating a bridge prosthesis.

A practice that has been done in classical dentistry for 60 to 70 years. Implants When this is done, we eliminate this bridge system. Teeth can be restored individually and by applying separate veneers. It is not necessary to cut the adjacent teeth.

Difference Between Implant and Bridge Prosthesis

Only adjacent teeth close to the edentulous area implant When a tooth is placed on the missing tooth area and a tooth is placed on top of it, the adjacent teeth are protected.

Of course, a bridge prosthesis is something we do not want, but it is something we are forced to do because the problem with natural teeth sometimes requires root canal treatment, of course we do not want the tooth tissue to be cut.

But we used to accept it. But today, in the era of implants, if there is a missing edentulous area, 1-2 implants are placed there, the required number of implants, and that area is restored.
