[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 542285, member: 1365"] Regardless of the smoking connection...if there is enough bone loss that some kind of tooth replacement is needed...your dentist should be trusted with that diagnosis & related treatment information I should think. If so, the choice between an implant vs a bridge is based on both function and cost. Implants are expensive...a bridge is less so. We’re likely talking thousands here. If you can afford it the implant is by far the better choice, especially with your history. A bridge is a temporary solution that lasts maybe 10 years...then you need to replace it...but it takes more teeth to anchor it each time. An implant is a one time permanent solution. All this from personal experience. [/QUOTE]
