Everything You Need To Know About Dental Implants vs. Bridges

Tooth loss is becoming more and more common in adults. In fact, nearly 69% of adults are missing at least one of their permanent teeth. Due to the prevalence of tooth loss, it’s no wonder there are so many options available when it comes to replacements. At Awesome Smiles, we remind our patients that replacing missing teeth is critical for keeping the rest of your teeth aligned.

Two of the more popular replacement methods are dental implants and bridges. If you are on the fence about whether you want to request a dental implant vs. bridge, having a little more information may be helpful. Remember that we will advise and guide you throughout the process!

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a permanent tooth replacement solution that involves surgically attaching a titanium post to the jaw. The post will act the same as the root of a natural tooth. An artificial tooth is created which attaches to the post after healing from the surgery. The result of dental implants is completely natural with virtually no equipment in your mouth at the end for a beautiful, realistic, hassle free smile.

Advantages Of Dental Implants

  • Dental implants are long lasting when properly cared for. Most can last for over 20 years.
  • The results of dental implants are very natural looking with no chance of moving around or slipping.
  • Dental implants can actually improve bone health. Because the post is surgically attached, the jaw bone gets stimulated in the same way it would with a natural tooth.
  • Implants are easy to care for (essentially the same process as natural teeth)

What Is A Bridge?

Bridges are false teeth that replace your missing ones. They are typically made from either porcelain or zirconia and are held in place by your natural teeth surrounding the missing ones. Bridges can cover multiple teeth or just one if necessary and are made to match your existing teeth.

Advantages Of Bridges

  • One of the biggest advantages of bridges is that there is no invasive surgery required. There is no requirement for bone density or possibility of needing bone grafts. 
  • Usually, a bridge can be made in just two consultations with your dentist. 
  • There is no time needed for healing, you’re good to go once you have your bridges.
  • Dental bridges can look very natural. They are shaped and colored to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, you need not worry that your false teeth will look false at all.
  • usually lower upfront cost than dental implants
  • usually requires only two visits to your dentist spread over a couple of weeks

Awesome Smiles is by far the best office I've experience. Being in the dental field myself, I can appreciate the professionalism of the office. The dentist and hygienist are very thorough and detailed. I look forward to coming in for my routine checkups and have made Awesome Smiles my home...

If I could give Awesome Smiles negative stars, I would. My experience here was an absolute train wreck, and it all comes down to the rude and incompetent Patricia Viriato.

First, I was told I needed a deep cleaning, and this so-called "professional" had the nerve to claim my insurance would only cover a measly 20%. When I called my insurance directly, they informed me I was actually covered for 85%—what a shocker! When I confronted Patricia about her blatant lie, she just doubled down, insisting it was still 20%. It was like talking to a wall made of ignorance.

Feeling pressured and trapped, I reluctantly agreed to fork over $900 upfront, believing I could get reimbursed later. They even coerced me into making a down payment right then and there.

To make matters worse, my insurance denied the claim because Awesome Smiles didn’t even perform the necessary periodontal charting. Seriously, how incompetent can one office be?

When I returned to demand a refund, Patricia acted as if I was the problem. Her attitude was dismissive and infuriating. She couldn’t accept that she messed everything up. After I insisted on speaking to a manager, I was finally told they would process a refund—but honestly, it felt like they were just trying to brush me off.

Do yourself a favor and avoid Awesome Smiles like the plague. Patricia is a prime example of everything wrong with customer service—rude, uninformed, and completely unhelpful. Save your time, money, and sanity—go anywhere else!

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Isabelle and Ana! They made me feel so comfortable during my visits, which was a relief since I was a bit nervous about the amount of work I needed done. They turned what could have been a stressful experience into a wonderful one, and I truly appreciate it. They also worked with my busy schedule, and the front desk staff was incredibly friendly. I highly recommend this place—everyone I interacted with was just fantastic!

My visits here have been great! Friendly, kind staff and they made me feel comfortable from the start to finish. The service quality is truly exceptional! I'm very happy with my visits! Dental assistant Manny is very attentive and kind!
The only exception is I wish if they promise incentives to their patients for bringing new patients that they would follow through on their promise.

I am literally the biggest baby when it comes to having to go to the dentist. I am just always so nervous and scared of any and everything. The staff and doctors at Awesome Smiles totally put me at ease. I felt greeted and like a VIP from the moment I walked in the door. Dr Isabelle Morris was my Doctor and she was very patient very understanding and kept me at ease the entire time. This has been my most memorable experience at a dentist's office and I feel encouraged to follow my treatment plan. I would definitely recommend this office and will be bringing my entire family here. Another great thing is their hours of operation 8am to 8pm so so convenient. Highly Recommended.. Latoya

I can't say enough about the fabulous experience I had with Dr. Michelle Luis. A true professional in every sense, she is compassionate, empathetic, and possesses a gift that immediately puts you at ease. Her treatment approach is truly collaborative, and she never pressured me to proceed until I was ready to do so. Her skill is unmatched, attention to detail is unparalleled, and - as someone who loathes visiting the dentist - possesses such a gentle touch, that I was never reminded that I was sitting in a dentist's chair. A finer dental experience I have yet to experience. If anyone were to ask, I would certainly recommend they see Dr. Michelle Luis as quickly as they can.

The team at Awesome Smiles provides a warm and inviting atmosphere, where as going to the dentist traditionally has a negative connotation. All of the staff members are friendly and easy to get a long with. In fact, they all remember my name without hesitation. They took good care of my brother and myself. They recommended me to do the Invisalign and I am really enjoying the progress thus far with my treatment and their care.

I called originally for my partner to get a Root Canal done as an emergency visit. Awesome Smiles, was extremely accommodating to get him in next day. Other dental offices were wanting Full Payment on the day of procedure. Awesome Smiles was willing to work with us on a strict budget, we didn't have to pay for the initial visit. My partner got the Root Canal done, and then we went back a week later for the Crown to be put on. The energy of the whole office is very upbeat and everyone makes you feel as though your NOT going to a dull and boring dentist's office. We would definitely recommend to everyone. A+++++++.

I highly recommend Awesome Smiles. I have an infection in my wisdom tooth and my consultation was completely free. Got a cheap script for antibiotics until I get all 4 of my messed up wisdom teeth taken out next week and they offer non credit check payments that are reasonable. Dental work can be super expensive but what they quoted me without insurance, I feel like this is a God send and probably the best price I’ve ever seen for what I need. Everybody there from reception (Isabella) to radiology (Jasmine) to my dentist Dr.Sunny was amazing and caring. I was a bit anxious going in cause of poor treatment by medical professionals in the past, but the low cost for amazing service put me at ease immediately and I look forward to going back.
