Dental implants replace the tooth root and crown independently without affecting neighboring teeth, lasting 25 years or more and preserving jawbone. Bridges attach to adjacent teeth for support, requiring grinding down healthy teeth but avoiding surgery and costing less upfront.

At Picasso Dental Clinic, where I've restored thousands of missing teeth since 2013 treating over 70,000 patients, I recommend implants when feasible for long-term value, but bridges remain excellent alternatives in appropriate situations.

At Picasso Dental Clinic, where I've performed thousands of root canals since 2013 treating over 70,000 patients, I tell people to expect three days of manageable discomfort, one week until the area feels normal, and four to six weeks for complete internal healing

The key to prevention is choosing an experienced dentist, following post-surgical care precisely, maintaining excellent oral hygiene, and attending regular checkups. Most failures occur within the first year and are preventable with proper protocols
