A dental bridge can offer a replacement option that looks natural and prevents the common complications of missing teeth. Our team can provide a custom one, keeping your smile full and balanced. In today’s blog, your Riverside Dental Group team talks about how we place natural-looking bridges.
The Reasons to Replace a Tooth
When should you see our team for a dental bridge? We use this dental prosthetic to address minor tooth loss, such as a single lost tooth. But we could also secure one that addresses up to three or four teeth in a row. You need to replace your lost tooth or teeth before misalignment occurs, as the nearby teeth may shift from position. You could also have difficulty eating a variety of foods, and for some clear speech could be complicated. You could also feel embarrassed about your appearance, which impacts social interactions and your overall quality of life. But we can help with a custom dental bridge!
Creating Your Custom Bridge
Every smile is unique, so we will custom-make your prosthetic. To get started, we will numb the abutment teeth, the ones on each side of the gap in your smile. We then remove structure from them and gather detailed digital images and measurements of the gap and these abutment teeth. In a dental lab, we will design and fabricate your new prosthetic. We craft them from ceramic, as the material can absorb daily bite forces and pressures. The material can also be color matched to ensure a natural appearance.
Placing Your Dental Prosthetic
The prosthetic will contain new teeth, known as pontics, with crowns on one or both ends. We will attach the crown portions to the abutment teeth with a powerful bonding agent. This secures your new teeth firmly in place, so you can smile with confidence and eat your favorite foods again. We will discuss caring for them, such as daily brushing and flossing, and cleaning the spaces between the top of the gums and the bottom of the prosthetic.
