I see your point, implants can definitely be a lifesaver long-term. But honestly, at my age, I went with a bridge and haven't regretted it yet. My dentist was upfront about the risks, but he also said implants aren't always ideal if your bone density isn't great (which mine isn't). Four years in and it's still holding strong... guess it really depends on individual circumstances and health factors. Glad your aunt found relief though—dental troubles are no joke.
"implants aren't always ideal if your bone density isn't great (which mine isn't)."
That's a good point, bone density really can be a deciding factor. But just to share another perspective—my grandma had similar bone density concerns, and her dentist suggested a bone graft first to strengthen the area. It took a bit longer overall, but she went ahead with the implant afterward, and it's been solid for about three years now. Definitely agree it's all about individual circumstances though... everyone's different. Glad your bridge is working out!
