An implant restores a missing tooth without grinding neighbours and helps preserve bone; a bridge often needs adjacent teeth prepared. Choice depends on bone, budget and neighbouring teeth.
Key points
- Implant: independent restoration, bone support benefit.
- Bridge: sometimes faster/cheaper upfront but may alter healthy teeth.
- Long-term hygiene matters for both.
