Dental Bridges
If you have missing teeth Dental Bridges could be the answer. Dental Bridges are one option open to patients and are extremely successful when the abutment teeth (those either side of the gap) are in good health: And remain so.
Dental Bridges Explained
A Dental Bridge is simply teeth which are inserted to ‘bridge’ a gap caused by missing teeth. A Dental Bridge is able to replace a single tooth or several, so long as the abutment teeth either side are healthy: The abutment teeth must be healthy because they are used to anchor the Dental Bridge. In most cases the abutment teeth will need to be prepared for the Dental Bridge by our cosmetic dentist first – the teeth are reshaped to accommodate the new Dental Bridge.
What Are Dental Bridges Made Of?
Porcelain Dental Bridges are strong and the most natural in appearance which for most people is preferable. Ceramic Dental Bridges are available and also very natural looking; as well as a metal alloy – porcelain or ceramic combination: Although strong, over time this type of combination Dental Bridges can cause dark lines to appear in the gums. Gold Dental Bridges are an option although rarely applied today. The cosmetic dentists at Perfect Smile Spa will advise you on the best materials for your Dental Bridge.
Main Advantages of Dental Bridges
The huge plus of Dental Bridges is they are painless and very quick and easy to anchor: They can also stop the teeth moving and so avoid large gaps appearing. Dental Bridges not only improve the aesthetic appearance; they do improve functionality with regards to biting and chewing. Dental Bridges are a fast, painless and the easier option to replace missing teeth, avoiding the need for a dental implant or partial denture.
Will Your Dental Bridge Last?
Our quality Dental Bridges can last anywhere from 10 and15 years: Possibly longer! However, they will only last if given proper care – just like natural teeth. As long as you employ and continue a good level of oral hygiene - with regular cleaning and dental check-ups, they will last
