Fortunately, there are many ways to restore the beauty and functionality of your mouth. Dental bridges are a common appliance used to fill the open space caused by tooth loss. Not replacing the gap where teeth are missing can affect your bite and your oral hygiene becomes challenging, which can increase your risk of dental pain and tooth decay. Dental bridges allow you to show off your smile without shame and they also cost less than other dental restorative options.
Dental bridges can be supported in any of the following ways: by natural teeth, by dental implants or by a combination of both. When your natural teeth are prepared for bridges, they are called abutments. The replacement teeth are called pontics and are attached to a crown on every abutment. Here are the main types of dental bridges:
People with missing teeth and have been told they are not suitable for implant dentistry can go for a fixed dental bridge for tooth replacement. Unlike dental implants, a dental bridge doesn’t require a certain jaw density for placement.
On the other hand, your gums should be healthy and the anchoring teeth that will serve as abutments should be healthy as well, any gum disease or decay should be treated prior to the placement of dental bridges. It is important to address these concerns first in order to reduce the risk for problems after the procedure.
