Everybody has heard about dental bridges and dental crowns as restorative treatments to replace missing teeth and give patients their smiles back. A missing tooth is indeed an issue impacting your quality of life. Luckily for everybody, a dental bridge can solve the problem easily and efficiently. Today our dental bridges Boca Raton FL specialists are here to answer a few frequent questions related to bridges.
1. When do I Need Dental Bridges?
Bridges are usually recommended when a patient has one to three consecutive missing teeth.
2. How do Dental Bridges Work Exactly?
Dental bridges represent fixed prosthetic restorations which are permanently fixed into place. In short, a bridge consists of up to two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap (anchoring teeth known as abutment teeth) or a false tooth/teeth in between. These fake teeth are called pontics and even if they can be made of several materials doctors recommend the porcelain ones for obvious aesthetic reasons. If properly manufactured and fixed, the bridge will be virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. You should know we work with a team having nearly 60 years of combined medical expertise and we collaborate only with certified laboratories.
3. How Many Types of Dental Bridges are there?
The most popular and used dental bridges are the traditional ones – basically the ones we described above: one or more pontic teeth held in place by dental crowns. However, depending on the diagnosis and your doctor’s recommendations, you can get cantilever bridges (featuring only one abutment tooth instead of two), Maryland bridges (more conservative than traditional bridges) and implant-supported dental bridges (they are supported by dental implants instead of crowns).
You will get the most efficient bridge you need after your doctor performs a thorough evaluation of your missing teeth situation and decides the best and most long-lasting solution for you.
