TESTIMONIALS
Dr. Mars J. Lans, Inventor
I feel that my testimonial is a valid one, as I not only invented the approach, but also had a One Tooth Bridge in my own mouth for over 8 years (old bicycle accident injury). As the saying goes, "Necessity is the Mother of Invention".
Many of my patients simply could not afford the fees that advanced treatments like implants command. Nobody is arguing that in many cases, implants are the best option...if you have the money. You get what you pay for, like anything else.
In the case of the One Tooth Bridge, you actually get a lot more than you would expect for your dental dollars. It also allows you to "upgrade" to any of the more expensive options when your situation allows.
It's no secret that a missing tooth, where everyone can see it, has a negative impact on the quality of a person's life. It can hamper self-esteem, employment considerations, and adversely affect relationships.
I traveled around the country and overseas for years teaching Dentists and Dental Laboratory Technicians on the merits of this technology and the treatment outcomes made possible by it. The question that arose quite often was "But how long will it last?" As stated above, my own One Tooth Bridge lasted for 8 years, after which I had it replaced by a conventional bridge, which btw, didn't last nearly as long. We routinely get word from Dentists around the country with pictures of One Tooth Bridges in service for 10 years and beyond.
The important thing for patients to appreciate is that there is no such thing as a "permanent" restoration in Dentistry, no matter what the cost. Some approaches obviously last longer than others, but none are "permanent" per se. The distinction that needs to be understood is the difference between "fixed" and "removable".
The One Tooth Bridge is the most affordable method of doing a "fixed" restoration; one that is not removable by the Patient, like a denture or a "flipper".
In Dental Terminology, the One Tooth Bridge (Monodont) is correctly described as a "Fixed Transitional Prosthesis", which means that it has the potential for long-term service, and can be replaced (transitioned) by itself, or any other treatment modality such as a conventional bridge, or an implant, if so desired, or when economics allows for it, in the case of any individual Patient.
One of my main objectives with the One Tooth Bridge, was and still is, to significantly reduce the cost differential between "removable" and "fixed" appliances, with the "fixed" being the preferred method for both the Dentist and the Patient.
