Am I suitable for bridges? Will they be better for me than dental implants?

Q.
Hi, i was born with a few missing teeth, so I have braces now, so they can arrange the teeth that i already have to be put in their right places. I can’t wait to finally have that beautiful smile and healthy mouth that iv always wanted. Now i have 2 choices either bridges or implants. I defiantly want bridges but on the bottom part of my teeth and on the front part, i have 4 missing teeth all in one row, but i do have teeth on each side but in the middle their are 4 missing so can i have bridges and if yes will it be good for me and well basically work well?

Hi
It’s always difficultTo advise without seeing a patient.
With regards to bridges it’s unlikely that such a large space can be replaced with a bridge without preparation of the adjacent teeth . This can lead to root canal and loss of these teeth in future. Implants hence are superior as at most you will periodically need to change the crowns on the implants .
