Restore Your Smile with Gentle Care Family Dental’s Dental Bridges
Missing teeth affect someone far more than just the appearance. It can also affect his speech, eating, and confidence. Gentle Care Family Dental in High Point, NC has its dental bridges especially designed to provide for a pretty effective, functional, and long-lasting restoration that replaces not just your smile but also the peace of mind.
What is a Dental Bridge?
Dental bridges are fixed restorations designed specifically to replace one or more missing teeth by means of artificial teeth, pontics, securely attached to the adjacent supporting teeth or dental implants to fill effectively all gaps caused by lost teeth.
Why use a Dental Bridge?
Restoration of Functionality and Aesthetics
These bridges not only make chewing easy and speaking clear but do not allow shifting of remaining teeth supporting the structure of your face and give the beautiful smile that looks quite natural.
Confidence and Ease
Gently caring for teeth with the help of Gentle Care Family Dental also supports one’s confidence. With bridges, stability and authenticity of appearance are offered such that smiling, talking, and freedom of lifestyle is not tainted with worrying about naturally lost teeth.
Types of Bridges Used
Depending on the specific requirement, types of bridges available include:
Conventional Bridges- These are supported by crowned neighbouring teeth.
Cantilever Bridges- This is used when support is available on only one side of the gap.
Maryland (Resin-Retained) Bridges- minimal-prep bridges bonding to adjacent teeth as they preserve more of the natural structure.
Implant Supported Bridges, These bridges are entirely anchored to dental implants and not to natural teeth; these are ideal when the adjacent teeth are not in good enough condition to act as anchor teeth.
The Process of Treatment for the Dental Bridge
When you undergo the process of bridge placement, here is what you generally expect:
Consultation & Exam- We shall analyze their oral condition and then the alternative bridge as best described above will then be determined for proper usage.
Preparation- Preparations are made to neighbouring teeth (where necessary) and impressions or digital scans.
Temporary Solutions.- While your permanent restoration is being made, a temporary bridge may be placed.
Final Placement: Fitting and bonding of your new custom bridge.
Taking Care of Your Bridge
Proper care helps in most cases in the longevity of your bridge:
Keep Good Oral Hygiene-: Brush and floss with a very good thorough instruction in cleaning around your bridge and abutment teeth.
Visit a Dentist Regularly-: Usually preventive, with regular visits, damages and decay can be minimized.
Avoid Hard or Sticky Foods-: Especially right after placement as your mouth adjusts.
Usually, with good care, a bridge can last between 5 and 7 years, and sometimes even longer, with some bridges living for more than a decade.
Are You Suitable?
You will have the perfect conditions for a dental bridge, lost one or more teeth, and adjacent teeth or supporting implants are healthy. Your dentist will assess your oral health, lifestyle, and goals to suggest the ideal option for you.
