If you have a missing tooth and are committed to finally filling in the spaces in your smile, you might not know where to start. Don’t worry. Dr. Rebecca Bradley of QC South Dentistry has your back with many cosmetic and restorative dentistry options designed to replace missing teeth. One of many tooth replacement devices is a dental bridge. If you want to renew your smile, a dental bridge may be the right choice. Dental bridges are an efficient and cost-effective method for replacing one or more missing teeth.
What is a dental bridge? Also called a tooth bridge, a dental bridge is a custom-made appliance that replaces one or more missing teeth by closing the gap between your remaining natural teeth. Bridges stay in the mouth (not removable) and they are held in place by crowns on your natural teeth on either side of the space, with a crown between them, connecting or bridging the space. Once in place, a dental bridge improves your appearance and helps prevent further dental problems caused by shifting your remaining teeth.
Our teeth can become damaged or lost for various reasons as we age. If you’re missing one or more teeth, a dental bridge may be just the solution to restore your smile. A tooth bridge is a standard solution for people who have teeth that have been extracted, are severely decayed or damaged, or have shifted due to gaps in teeth.
Getting a dental bridge can help restore your confidence in your smile and improve your ability to chew and speak properly. Additionally, dental bridges can help prevent the other teeth from shifting or becoming loose due to the empty spaces in your mouth. Overall, dental bridges are an excellent investment in oral health and quality of life.
Dental bridges have become an excellent option for those struggling with missing teeth. If you’re considering getting one, it’s always a good idea to familiarize yourself with the process beforehand. The procedure involves several steps to ensure your dental bridge is accurately fitted, comfortable, and long-lasting. Dr. Bradley will first examine your teeth to determine whether a dental bridge is best for you. She will then prepare the surrounding teeth to receive the bridge by removing a small amount of their enamel. Afterward, an impression of the surrounding teeth is taken and sent to the laboratory to create your dental bridge. Once ready, the bridge will be firmly placed, and our Charlotte dentist will adjust and shape it as needed to ensure a perfect fit. The process may seem complex, but the procedure should be smooth and stress-free at QC South Dentistry.
If you have a missing tooth, you should consider getting a dental bridge. Overall, a tooth bridge is an effective way to restore your smile while keeping your natural teeth looking healthy, creating a seamless look on a budget. A well-placed bridge can help close the visible gaps in your mouth, improve chewing ability, and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of place due to the missing space.
