Don’t let a missing tooth cause trouble for your smile! Our team can help address missing teeth with a dental bridge, one designed to look natural too. In today’s blog, your team at Riverside Dental Group talks about replacing missing teeth with a custom dental bridge.
The Impact of Even Minor Tooth Loss
What happens to your smile when you lose a tooth, or as many as two to three in a row? When this happens, the remaining teeth could drift due to the open space in your bite, which creates misalignment. Poor alignment is linked to negative changes to your smile’s appearance, as well as a higher risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Missing teeth could upset your bite balance and strain your jaw joints which leaves you vulnerable to issues like TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding). You could even experience complications with how you eat or speak! But we can help, offering a custom tooth replacement with a dental bridge.
Creating a Dental Bridge
Our team can offer tooth replacement with a custom dental bridge, addressing a single missing tooth or as many as three in a row. We will begin by numbing the natural teeth on each side of the gap in your bite, and then removing structure from them. Once we do, we will take digital images of these abutment teeth and the empty space, which we use in a lab setting to design and craft your new prosthetic.
The new teeth will be made from ceramic, which looks natural and can be shaded to better blend with your smile. The material can also handle daily bite forces with ease. The prosthetic will contain your new teeth, and have crowns on each end. We attach the crowns to the abutment teeth to keep the prosthetic firmly in place for years to come, often as long as ten or more!
Support Using Dental Implants
We could also insert one to two dental implants to support them. With this option we don’t need to remove structure from abutment teeth, and your prosthetic could last for decades! If you have any questions about custom tooth replacement with a dental bridge, then contact our team today.
