My teeth are moving into the gap. I have the choice of having a dental implant, or drilling two perfectly healthy teeth to make a bridge. I am vaguely dental fixated and would not cope well with lots of pain during any procedure.

Which one must I choose?
Thanks all. Costs are unimportant. I would rather have a healthy mouth long term. Just concerned at the pain during insertion..I don’t numb up well on the decrease jaw (possibly must have mentioned that!)

Answer by Dental Commando
Neither procedure must be painful as anaesthetic is used although postoperatively the implant might be sore for a while. Personally I would go for the implant as it removes the need to drill sound teeth. It is but a less pleasant operation and requires more visits to the dentist so if you are a dental fixated you may be surpass off with the bridge. Talk your options through with your dentist.

Here is very minimal pain with a dental implant surgery and no pain during the procedure any. In most suitcases, a patient can walk out of the office ready to go back to work. Absolutely go for implants rather than a bridge.

Since you are dental fixated, you can be prescribed a valium or halcion to relax you during the procedure.

Sounds like the pain will be minimal any way. How is the cost? Implants are pricey from what I hear.

Answer by Chris C
Don’t let the cost be a thing if at all possible. Get the dental implant. You will be much surpass off in the long run. Find a excellent periodontist or oral surgeon that specializes in implants. One implant and the aptly drugs must be a piece of cake. My dad has an implant retained upper denture and I used to sell them. Not being offered an implant as a single tooth replacement option is irresponsible on the part of a general dentist. Don’t mill down two healthy teeth if you don’t have to.

Answer by LittleMermaid
Here is less pain from a dental implant than pulling a tooth. If you were able to tolerate that, then the implant will be a breeze.

I would certainly not sacrifice the other two teeth to do a bridge. On average, a bridge lasts between 10-20 years, where the implant would last over 30. In my office a complete implant procedure would really only run a few hundred dollars more than a 3 unit bridge, so the cost isn’t really a thing in the choice for most patients.

Hi, goodluck with the treatment initially of all.
Your inquiry is subjective as it depends on many factors.
Here are many different implant systems available (different makes etc), and all of them differ.
Some, the dentist will install the implant and then seal your gum back over and wait for up to 6 months, others may but the implant in, screw a healing abutment on top and then wait a few weeks to months. Other have a temporary crown made up and attach that when you have the implant fitted, and you then go back and have a permanent one place on with a apposite amount of time.

You will have an anaesthetic so the pain must not be too terrible. You may experience some discomfort for a while afterwards, but with some pain killers this must pass.

Make sure your dentist tells you everything you need to know before beginning your treatment so that here are no surprises along the way.

With the treatment make sure you keep your mouth impeccably clean and then here must be no complications.

Goodluck and if you need anymore advice email me.

Thanks x
