There are two main options for replacing a missing tooth: an implant or a bridge. The right choice depends on your bone structure, the condition of neighboring teeth and your expectations.
What is an implant and when is it preferred?
An implant replaces the missing tooth without touching neighboring teeth and prevents bone loss. It can be applied to anything from a single missing tooth to full-arch rehabilitation and is considered the closest solution to a natural tooth.
When is a bridge advantageous?
A bridge is completed faster but requires reshaping the adjacent teeth. It can be a good option for patients who prefer to avoid surgery or whose bone structure is not suitable for an implant.
Before deciding, your bone structure is assessed with 3D tomography; the treatment plan is prepared entirely for you.
While implants are the first recommendation in most cases for long-term dental health, every patient's situation is evaluated individually.

Common Questions
An implant is generally considered a longer-lasting solution because it is placed without touching the neighbouring teeth and prevents bone loss. However, every patient's bone structure and general health differ; the final decision is made after an examination.
