The loss of teeth can happen for any number of reasons. Whether the result of serious decay or an injury, the tooth that was lost left a gap between teeth that needs to be addressed. While the loss of some teeth may not have an immediate impact on your smile they can have an impact on your bite. You may find that you avoid chewing on one side, and inadvertently cause more pressure on the other. This can lead to more wear and tear on those teeth.Beyond this, missing teeth can also lead to the shifting of the remaining teeth. A dental bridge can help to resolve some of these concerns.<\/p>\n

Dental implants are a good solution for the replacement of missing teeth. They are not always the right option for all patients however. When you look at a dental bridge vs. implant, the decision will be based upon the unique needs of each patient. Bridges are just what they sound like. They are dental prosthetics that bridge the gaps left behind by missing teeth. Fixed dental bridges can restore dental health, function and strength to the mouth.Unlike their counterparts of the past, modern dental bridges offer as many aesthetic benefits as they do oral health benefits.Bridges can be made from any number of materials. They could include porcelain, Zirconia, and porcelain fused to metal.<\/p>\n

Simply put, a tooth bridge is used to replace a missing tooth or multiple teeth. A fixed bridge is a permanently affixed dental solution that can restore a smile and also restore a comfortable bite. A temporary dental bridge may be used before permanent implants can be considered, and can be used while waiting for your permanent bridge to be made.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

There is a bit of preparation that needs to be done before you can be fitted with your dental bridge. If you have healthy teeth on each side of the missing tooth or teeth, your dentist will prepare them to be the solid foundation for the bridge. If you do not have healthy teeth, or sufficient teeth to offer support for the bridge, then dental implants may be the solution that works best for you. The implant will act as an anchor for the tooth bridge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
