What Is a Dental Bridge?
Dental bridges have been tried and tested over the years to fill missing teeth, restoring their full function with confidence. A dental bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth called pontics which are securely held in place by surrounding natural teeth or implants. They are designed to blend with your smile, add strength, balance, and aesthetics.
Why Opt for a Bridge?
Missing teeth be much more than just an unnatural look. They interfere with chewing, with speaking, and sometimes they displace teeth next to them. A custom-made dental bridge helps in:
– Giving back the missing natural face to your smile
– Improving chewing ability and speech
– Preventing teeth from moving into the space created by the missing teeth, keeping them from creating a whole mouth and jaw structure
The Bridge Process at Olive Branch Dental
Your treatment starts with an extensive evaluation where our team looks into your oral health state and speaks about options. If it’s deemed that a bridge is right forward for you, we shall prepare the supporting teeth or implants, make impressions, and carefully create your custom bridge. Upon placing, adjustments shall be made for comfort to allow it function and feel like natural teeth.
Caring for Your Bridge
Bridges have inherent durability, surviving years of wear and, with proper care, can last for many more. Practicing simple hygiene practices by brushing and flossing and going to the dentist routinely would keep the bridge and other teeth adjacent to it healthy. We would guide you on how to maintain your bridge so that it lasts long.
