Why Tooth Replacement Matters
• Missing teeth affect your ability to chew, 
speak, and smile confidently. At Douglas 
Family Dental, we help patients find 
affordable, lasting tooth replacement options 
such as dental bridges and implants.
Understanding Tooth Replacement 
Options
• • Dental Bridges – Artificial teeth anchored to 
adjacent teeth.
• • Dental Implants – Permanent, natural-
looking replacements.
• • Dentures – Removable solutions for multiple 
missing teeth.
What Are Dental Bridges?
• A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth 
using crowns on neighboring teeth.
• ✅ Advantages:
• • Affordable upfront.
• • No surgery needed.
• • Quick results.
• ⚠️ Disadvantages:
• • Adjacent teeth must be filed.
• • Lifespan: 7–10 years.
• • Does not prevent bone loss.
Why Dental Implants Are Preferred
• Dental implants are considered the gold 
standard in modern dentistry, offering long-
term benefits and a natural feel.
Key Benefits of Dental Implants
• • Natural Look and Feel – Matches real teeth.
• • Long-Term Durability – Can last a lifetime.
• • Preserves Jawbone – Prevents bone loss.
• • Protects Other Teeth – No alteration 
needed.
• • Versatile – Works for single or multiple 
teeth.
Comparing Costs: Bridges vs. 
Implants
• ✅ Dental Bridges:
• • Lower upfront cost.
• • Requires replacement every 7–10 years.
• ✅ Dental Implants:
• • Higher initial cost.
• • Permanent, cost-effective solution long-
term.
Are Dental Bridges Worth It?
• Bridges are great short-term options, but 
implants provide superior durability, comfort, 
and long-term value. Douglas Family Dental 
helps you find the best solution for your smile.
