Renew Your Smile with Dental Bridges in Carrollton
Losing an adult tooth is difficult, and unlike losing baby teeth, there is no biological replacement after an adult tooth is gone. Fortunately, patients do not have to suffer with missing teeth. There are more options available than just dentures; dental bridges are a great way to replace missing teeth without affecting oral function and appearance. If you have lost one or more teeth, we recommend scheduling a consultation with our dentist to review your tooth replacement options.
How Dental Bridges Work?
A bridge is anchored by biological teeth on each side and covers the missing space above the gums where a tooth once was. Made from one or more dental crowns, a bridge is permanently anchored to neighboring biological teeth. A bridge can be made of up to four dental crowns. Patients can choose from a number of materials including metals, porcelain, or porcelain fused to metal. Bridges made with porcelain are very discreet and natural looking.
Caring for Your Dental Bridges
Since bridges replace the biting surfaces of teeth, they restore oral function and one’s appearance. Those who have dental bridges should practice thorough oral hygiene including flossing and brushing. Because food and debris can become trapped underneath a bridge, some folks may benefit from water irrigators to clean the gums beneath the bridge. Those who have suffered with tooth loss have higher risks for losing more teeth – especially if one has a history of bone atrophy or gum disease. With an increased risk for tooth loss, it is important that patients with prosthetic teeth still receive regular cleanings and checkups.
Tooth loss has varied effects on one’s life. Missing just one tooth can greatly affect the ability to chew food comfortably. It also affects self-esteem. If you have lost a tooth, it is important for both your mental and physical well-being to review your tooth replacement options.
