Missing a few teeth not only stops you from smiling confidently, but also jeopardizes your dental health. If you don’t want tooth gaps to make your face look older and uncared for, give bridges a try. At Best Dental Care, we customize these tooth replacements to complete your smile and turn it into an enviable, radiant grin.
How Do Dental Bridges Work?
Dental bridges are resin replacements made of an artificial tooth and two crowns. First, we take a look at your teeth’s color, shape, and size, so we can design a bridge that blends in seamlessly with the rest of your smile. Then, we get neighboring teeth ready to hold the bridge in place. Once your new teeth are done, we cover the gap and cement the two crowns to the adjacent teeth. This painless procedure will take care of any unwanted spaces and give your smile a polished, clean finish.
Do I Need Dental Bridges?
If you’re missing at least one tooth, bridges might be the answer to your concerns. As long as your natural teeth are healthy enough to sustain this tooth replacement, you can get custom bridges to enhance your smile. However, if you suffer from dental issues, we’ll have to treat those conditions before considering bridges. Problems that might prevent you from getting bridges include:
- Smoking
- Severe decay
- Gum disease
How Often Should I Replace My Bridges?
You can make your bridges last for over a decade when you take good care of your natural and artificial teeth. However, you should schedule follow-up visits to ensure your bridges are in good shape.
