Have you lost a tooth, or possibly two to three in a row? If so, then you could benefit from a dental prosthetic! In today’s blog, your team at Riverside Dental Group talks about how we treat missing teeth with a dental bridge, including the potential for support with dental implants.
The Impact of Missing Teeth
Have you lost a tooth? Have you lost several teeth and years have elapsed since you saw the dentist? If you have a larger gap of two to three in a row, or even just one lost tooth, we can help with a dental prosthetic. Treating missing teeth with dental bridges can offer a full smile, with a prosthetic fixed in place for 10 to 15 years on average, all while ensuring a lifelike appearance.
Replacing missing teeth means you avoid complications like misalignment and a higher risk of tooth decay and gum disease. You also avoid the chance of TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding) developing, or even issues with meals or speech. Don’t delay, see our team today!
Dental Bridges
If we find out you need a dental bridge to treat your missing teeth, then we will numb the teeth on each side of the gap in your bite. We then remove structure from these teeth known as abutment teeth, and take impressions and images with digital technology of the prepped teeth and the open space. In a dental lab, we will use the information to design and craft a prosthetic from ceramic, a material that we can shade for a natural appearance, and one that can handle daily bite forces with ease. Your prosthetic will contain new teeth with crowns on each end, and we will attach the crowns to the abutment teeth to secure your new bridge firmly in place.
Support with Dental Implants
We could also offer support with dental implants! With this option, we don’t need to remove structure from natural teeth. Instead, we will insert one to two dental implants into the jaw, where they bond with the tooth structure. We then attach the crown portions to these. The implants stimulate jawbone growth and provide a chance for tooth replacement that can last decades to come! If you have any questions about treating missing teeth with a dental bridge, then contact our team today.
