Before قیمت یونیت دندانپزشکی implants became common-place, the most effective way to treat an individual with a single missing tooth was with a three-unit bridge – also commonly referred to as a three three-tooth bridge. This kind of dental bridge works by linking a row of three false teeth alongside one another, the middle tooth to bridges the gap and the false tooth on either side are fixed over natural teeth. Even though this kind of dental treatment was previously regarded as the best available treatment for decades, it is not now thought of as the perfect solution.
One of the drawbacks of a three unit bridge is that it requires the teeth on either side of the gap to be shaped and reduced in size so as to enable the bridge to be fitted over the top. Since the three teeth of the dental bridge are fixed together, they must be cleaned in a different way to natural teeth. To achieve this they, require specialised dental cleaning equipment to ensure surrounding gum tissue remains healthy.
Dental Implants are now the preferred choice for the replacement of missing teeth. In the instance of an implant to replace a single tooth, the completed implant will also function as a substitute for the root of the tooth and also the tooth itself. With implants there is no need for specialised cleaning tools, unlike with dental bridges. They can be maintained by regular brushing and flossing, in the same way as you would look after natural teeth. Although dental implants do not decay, they will need to be maintained with an effective oral hygiene routine.
The dental implant itself (the part which is implanted into the jawbone) should last for the lifetime of the patient; however the dental crown (the false tooth which is connected to the implant via an abutment) is not expected to last for ever. Implant crowns last for a different length of time depending on how they are looked after and the individual patient.
