Bridge vs implant for #30? (Photo)

While more clinical and radiographic studies are necessary to determine the type of treatment, from what can be seen on the radiograph, it would be best to remove element 30 for periapical infection, keep in mind that the decision to perform an immediate implant after the removal of element 30 will depend on the amount of bone remaining. You will probably need a bone graft to maintain the bone level. The fact that you also need a crown in element 31 may be an advantage for the dental bridge option, but keep in mind that element 29 will have to be prepared to receive another crown to support the bridge. So the most conservative treatment would be to have an implant in 30 without affecting element 29.At Empower Your Smile, Dr. Bagga will be in charge of guiding you through this process and answering your questions.

I would recommend an implant. #31 is already compromised. An implant has better longevity than a bridge.

sorry for all your troubles. I would not suggest bridge because they are pain to clean. These days, I remove the tooth and if I can, I place the implant right then. Your bone loss is not that bad. So #30 implant!
