Dental Bridges Orpington: Solutions for a Healthier Smile
What Are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are prosthetic devices used to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of two or more crowns (called abutments) on either side of the gap, with one or more artificial teeth (pontics) in between.
When Are Bridges Needed?
-
To Replace Missing Teeth: Bridges restore function and aesthetics by filling gaps left by missing teeth.
-
To Prevent Teeth Shifting: They help maintain the alignment of your teeth and jaw, preventing issues related to tooth movement.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
-
Restored Function: Bridges improve chewing and speaking abilities.
-
Aesthetic Enhancement:They provide a natural look, blending seamlessly with your existing teeth.
-
Support for Facial Structure: Bridges help maintain facial shape and prevent sagging.
The Bridge Procedure
-
1 - Consultation: Your dentist will assess your dental health and determine if a bridge is suitable.
-
2 - Tooth Preparation: The adjacent teeth (abutments) are prepared and shaped to support the bridge.
-
3 - Impressions: Impressions are taken to create a custom bridge.
-
4 - Temporary Bridge: A temporary bridge may be placed while your permanent one is being made.
-
5 - Bridge Placement: Once ready, the bridge is cemented in place, restoring your smile.
