If you are dealing with the inconvenience of missing teeth, a dental bridge could be an ideal solution to restore your smile’s functionality and aesthetics. A dental bridge is a fixed (nonremovable) restoration designed to fill the gap left by one or more missing teeth. Unlike removable dentures, a bridge is securely anchored in place, providing a stable and long-lasting solution.
The procedure involves placing crowns on the adjacent teeth or dental implants, which serve as supports for the bridge. These crowns hold the artificial tooth, or pontic, firmly in place. The result is a natural-looking and functional set of teeth that blend seamlessly with your existing smile. Typically, the process of getting a dental bridge requires just two visits to Georgetown Dental Spa making it a convenient option for many patients.
There are several benefits to choosing a dental bridge:
- Bridges restore your ability to chew and speak properly, which can be compromised by missing teeth.
- A bridge helps maintain the shape of your face, preventing the sunken look that can occur with tooth loss.
- Dental bridges distribute the forces in your bite properly by replacing missing teeth, which alleviates stress on the remaining teeth.
- Bridges can prevent your natural teeth from shifting out of position, which can lead to further dental issues.
