Why do you need a Dental Bridge?

Posted on 10/11/2021 by Premier Dental

If you have one or more false teeth in your mouth, you will most likely require a dental bridge. Dental bridges improve the appearance of your smile by replacing a lost tooth with one that is as natural as the original. Aside from the aesthetic rewards of dental bridges, the treatment may help recover or preserve proper swallowing, biting, and conversing, as well as the proper form for your bite and the proper shape of your face. Inserting a fake tooth into the gap left by a lost tooth prevents neighboring teeth from changing or migrating into the vacuum created by the tooth, which can throw your entire bite out of alignment.

Determining if you require a dental bridge and assessing the rewards and cons of dental bridges compared to other dental treatment choices is best accomplished by visiting with one of Picnic area Medical Care's dental specialists. We will design a treatment plan for each patient based on their dental requirements, affordability, and intended outcomes. Schedule a consultative session with us for more information.

Are there any dangers or problems with dental bridges?

If you properly maintain your bridge, it can survive for many years without causing problems. If the underlying teeth disintegrate or the mortar degrades, the bridge may collapse. If the bridge becomes loose, but the anchoring teeth remain healthy and undamaged, your therapist may be able to reconstruct it with fresh glue.

What kinds of dental bridges are there?

The four major types of bridges are as follows:

Traditional fixed bridge: This is the most frequent type of bridge. It comprises two or even more crowns and a padding tooth or teeth that are all linked together. The bridge is held in place by the crowns. Steel, porcelain bonded to rods, or ceramics are used to construct traditional bridges.

Cantilever bridge: The pontic links to only one supporting teeth in this bridge design. This is occasionally a possibility for those who only have teeth on one side of a space. Experiencing troubles on which is the best dental bridge? Seek medical help, or call us today.
