Dental bridges for better oral health and more confidence

A missing tooth (or multiple missing teeth) can certainly be embarrassing, and it can often impact your confidence. You want to be able to speak, smile, and laugh freely, and a dental bridge can help. A tooth bridge addresses the cosmetic and aesthetic issues with having a missing tooth, but it also aids in maintaining your oral health.

Why is replacing a missing tooth necessary?

Missing teeth can happen easily, particularly as we advance in age and our teeth become weakened. You may wonder why it’s necessary to address a missing tooth at all, but the reality is that the longer you go without that tooth in place, the worse your teeth will get. If left untreated, a missing tooth will cause all of the teeth in your mouth to shift and fill in the empty space. This can cause larger dental issues like:

What kind of bridges are there?

The type of bridge you get will depend on the condition of your remaining teeth. A dental bridge needs to be fixed either to healthy teeth or to dental implants.

Traditional fixed bridges are the most common type of dental bridge. They are placed by being secured to two or more crowned teeth and they contain “filler teeth” in between to fill in the gap of the missing tooth.
Bridges supported by implants are similar to traditional bridges, only they are fixed to dental implants instead of existing teeth. This option is ideal for patients who don’t have healthy teeth surrounding the missing tooth.

What to expect when you get a dental bridge

Crowns will need to eventually be placed on teeth surrounding the gap, so some dentin and enamel will likely be removed on the existing teeth to make room for them. If implants will be used to secure the tooth bridge, those will need to be implanted into your jaw prior to the bridge being placed.

single day bridge is also available, check your eligibility with the dentist.

How do I care for a dental bridge?

The best way to care for a dental bridge is to properly care for your remaining teeth. Your bridge is depending on the strength and durability of the teeth it’s secured to, so a solid oral health routine will go a long way.

How long do dental bridges last?

When you practice good oral hygiene, your new bridge can easily last 10 years or more. At minimum, tooth bridges last between five and seven years.

Will having a tooth bridge change the way I eat and speak?

The reality is, having missing teeth actually makes it more difficult to speak and to eat certain foods. Replacing the teeth with a dental bridge actually improves speech and makes chewing easier.
