I have lost 29, 30, 31 and got 3 implants placed. Today when i got to the office the doctor proposed the following: instead of having each teeth (permanent crown) separated, he proposed to bond/connect them together. He stated that it will be more practical and less pressure. So I am wondering if this is indeed better? Any advice or recommendation?

Answer: Connect or not to connect implant crowns It's a complex issue, connecting or not connecting crowns for a bridge. On one hand, in my experience, it's easier to maintain and floss independent crowns. However, bridges tend to be more sturdy. It is important that a proper contact be created between the crown if they are left separate otherwise food will always get stuck between them. It's much harder to floss and maintain bridges then independent crowns. Speak to a prosthodontist for a second opinion.

Answer: Implant crown conected IT ISN´T. When you have separated crown, the theeth workks normaly but if you conected the crowns it will be difficult for cleaning. Some extra care is necessary to keep the underside of the bridge nice and clean, as it is prone to collecting plaque. Since the fake tooth is rigidly joined to the teeth either side it is not possible to floss in the normal way and super floss is needed.- Why the doctor deside to do that? If sometimes people preffer to put the implants just for avoid the bridgeGood luck!
