How bridges from your dentists in Gainesville, Virginia can restore your smile.
If you are dealing with missing teeth, you are dealing with an incomplete smile. An excellent tooth replacement option for you to consider is a dental bridge. Dr. Maggie Olano and Dr. Mariano Polack at Dental Design in Gainesville, VA offer a complete line of tooth replacement options, including dental bridges to restore your smile.
Today’s dental materials ensure that your bridge will look natural, and complement your smile. Your bridge will also be strong, providing excellent chewing ability so you can enjoy the foods you love.
Bridges include one or more prosthetic teeth, called pontics. These prosthetic teeth are suspended over the space where you are missing teeth. They are supported by the teeth next to the space. The adjacent teeth are crowned and the bridge is cemented into place.
Dental bridges require at least two appointments with your dentist. At your first appointment, your teeth are prepared and models are made of your prepared teeth and the space which the bridge will cover.
These models are sent to a dental laboratory where skilled dental artisans create a custom bridge. At your second appointment, your dentist will cement the bridge into place.
Dental bridges are an excellent way to complete your smile. The natural appearance of bridges will complement your appearance. The superb biting strength will restore your full chewing function.
Dental bridges work for just about everyone who is missing one or more teeth. The important thing to remember is you must keep them clean and you do this by brushing after meals and before bed. You also must floss underneath a bridge, using a floss threading tool to clean away plaque, bacteria, and debris from underneath the bridge. By following excellent dental hygiene habits, you ensure a long life for your dental bridge.
