If you have lost a tooth, then we want to help restore your smile! For a non-surgical approach to tooth replacement, we could provide a dental bridge. In today’s blog, your Riverside Dental Group team talks about how we secure lifelike and durable tooth replacement with our custom dental bridges!
The Loss of Your Natural Teeth
Minor tooth loss, such as a single missing tooth or up to three in a row, could be caused by a variety of factors. You could lose teeth to an injury to the face or jaw, or as a result of an untreated cavity or possibly a serious dental infection. Periodontal disease, or more accurately the periodontitis stage, is the most common cause of tooth loss in adults. When we lose teeth, this gap could impact how we eat and speak, and even lead to misalignment that alters your smile’s health and appearance. But with a prosthetic, such as a dental bridge, we can fill the gap and preserve your smile.
The Process of Creating a Dental Bridge
To begin, we will need to numb the teeth on each side of the gap with a local anesthesia. Known as abutment teeth, these will help support your new prosthetic. Our team will then take detailed digital images and measurements of the area to create a 3D impression of the bite. Once we do, we will be able to design then fabricate the prosthetic from ceramic. A durable material that can withstand daily bite forces and pressures. The same material can also be color-matched to blend with the rest of your smile, so your new teeth look natural. The finished product will contain new teeth with crowns on each end.
Securing Your New Teeth
When your dental prosthetic is ready, we will check the fit and make sure we don’t need to make any final adjustments. We then attach the crown portions to the abutment teeth to firmly secure your new teeth in place. The prosthetic will last about 10 to 15 years, and help you smile with confidence again. If you have any questions about our dental bridges, then contact our team today to learn more.
