What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a prosthetic tooth restoration that can replace between one and four consecutive teeth that are surrounded by healthy teeth. Dental bridges look just like real teeth that are essentially ‘stuck together', seamlessly fitting into your arches to fill gaps left behind by missing permanent teeth.
If you are missing between one and four permanent teeth that are surrounded on each side by at least one healthy tooth, you may be an excellent candidate for a dental bridge. At Roswell Modern Dentistry, we are proud to offer dental bridges made of durable porcelain and ceramic. Your dentist can discuss which option is best for your individual smile during your consultation.
Types of Dental Bridges
There are several different types of dental bridges available. The easiest way to determine which option is best for you is to schedule a consultation with your dentist at Roswell Modern Dentistry. Here’s a closer look at the options available.
Traditional Dental Bridges
Traditional dental bridges can replace between one and four consecutive missing teeth. To get one of these types of bridges, you’ll need to have one healthy “abutment” tooth on each side of the gap in your arch for the dental bridge to anchor to. These teeth will be reshaped so that two dental crowns can fit over them, holding your bridge securely in place.
Implant Bridges
Dental implant bridges are dental bridges that secure in place with dental implants. These are surgically inserted into your jawbone, so they don’t need any healthy abutment teeth to work. Because they attach to dental implants, this procedure is considered permanent, however you will need sufficient jawbone density to receive dental implants. If you do not have this, you may be able to restore your jaw with preliminary treatment such as a bone graft or sinus lift.
The Benefits of Getting a Dental Bridge
While you may not initially think it’s a big deal to replace missing permanent teeth, gaps in your arches are more than just a cosmetic problem. Failing to replace lost teeth can cause a variety of oral health issues including shifting teeth, decreased self-esteem, difficulties eating and speaking, and an increased risk of other dental problems.
The great news is that you don’t have to suffer the negative effects of missing permanent teeth any longer with the help of a durable, lifelike, dental bridge. To learn more about this treatment and to see if you qualify, schedule a consultation with Roswell Modern Dentistry today!
