Alternatives
Bridge supported on teeth
• Supporting teeth need to be drilled to attach the bridge thereby shortening their lifespan
• Bone supporting the gum beneath a bridge will shrink due to lack of use leaving a gap
Partial Denture
• Can be loose and uncomfortable, trapping food beneath whilst eating
• Replacement required every few years as dentures become looser
Leave a gap
• Unsightly and embarrassing
• May impair eating and speech
• Positions of surrounding teeth will distort over time
