So far every one has been pro-bridge and I'm guessing that's because it seems less invasive and costs less?? Is that the only reason? What about longer term maintenance and/or problems further down the track.
With the bridge, I'm worried about other problems brewing underneath it, kwim?
ETA - Trill I had forgotten you were a dental nurse in a former lifetime LOL.
they may give you a special floss to clean underneath it. They last for ages and ages and i worked for age ages an di have ever recemted about 2 and thy were poorly fitted in the first place.
i am not to sure about mait for the implant should be much at all.
do you have PHI?? if so then may be worth doing the imlants yo would get a fair bit back. speak to teh surgeon and see what they have to say or go for an inital appt with them re implants prehaps
I have recently gotten a quite for an implant as I have lost my tooth also. I was quoted $5700 (implant and crown ) by my dentist before claiming back from my private health insurance, I have extra dental and can claim back about $1,500. I cant afford to have this done right now, also they wont do it until all your teeth are clean and no decay is around.
Hope the pricing helps!
