What Are Dental Implants and How Do They Work?

Dental Implants vs Dentures vs Bridges: What’s the Difference?

When replacing missing teeth, patients typically choose between dental implants, dentures, or dental bridges. Each option restores function, but they differ significantly in comfort and long-term benefits.

Dental Implants

• Replace both the tooth and root

• Preserve jawbone health

• Do not rely on neighboring teeth

• Feel and function like natural teeth

Dentures

• Rest on the gums

• May shift or loosen over time

• Do not prevent bone loss

Dental Bridges

• Supported by adjacent teeth

• Require alteration of healthy teeth

• Do not replace the tooth root

Many patients prefer dental implants because they provide superior stability and longevity.
