According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID), dental bridges are difficult to clean under, often are destroyed by tooth decay, and require replacement. The American Academy of Implant Dentistry is now recommending replacement with permanent dental implants. Bridges generally fail after five to 10 years because patients have trouble flossing them. Bridges connect missing tooth spaces to the adjacent teeth,therefore most patients find it very difficult to floss under the bridge. As a result, root surfaces below and around bridgework usually decay if not kept exceptionally clean by careful flossing. It is difficult to repair this marginal decay, so the entire bridge must be replaced. The cure of this problem for most patients are dental implants.
Dental implants are the best treatment alternative because they preserve the jaw bone, can be flossed like individual teeth, do not decay, and function just like natural teeth. Today, highly precise computer and CAT Scan guided dental implant surgery has made the procedure faster, highly predicable, long-lasting, and 98 to 99% successful. Anyone with one or more missing teeth who might consider having a bridge placed or replacing an existing bridge should stongly consider dental implants before getting treatment. At The Center For Oral & Facial Surgery in Anthem, Arizona, we give all our patients the option of implants to replace missing teeth.Visit Our Website at : www.drbdorfman.com/implants.htm
