What Is A Dental Bridge?
If one or several of your teeth have fallen out, it's more than just a cosmetic issue — gaps in your teeth may cause other teeth to shift out of place. This can result in extra tension in your bite, increased pain during chewing, or even trouble speaking. A dental bridge improves the health and appearance of your mouth by covering gaps with a false tooth supported by either your natural teeth, dental implants, or a combination of both. At Middle Tennessee Oral and Implant Surgery in Murfreesboro and Smyrna, TN, Drs. Mark Hardison and Jeff Warden offer custom-made bridges with high-quality materials that will help restore your smile. If you have one or more teeth missing from your smile, please schedule an appointment at one of our middle Tennessee offices to learn about your treatment options with a dental bridge.
What Happens During the Dental Bridge Procedure?
Once your teeth are prepped, Dr. Hardison or Dr. Warden will take digital x-rays and dental impressions so your custom bridge can be created. If needed, a temporary bridge or restoration may be placed while your custom one is crafted. As soon as your restoration is ready, your mouth may be numbed with local anesthesia. Other anesthesia or sedation options may be used if you have anxiety or a strong gag reflex so you will be comfortable during the placement. The dental bridge for your front teeth or any other teeth will either be glued into its position or connected to implants, depending on the support you selected during your consultation. The position of your bridge will be carefully adjusted so it is comfortable and remains in place.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges involve numerous benefits for individuals looking to repair missing teeth and renew their oral wellness and appearance, including:
- Increased self-assurance and enhanced overall quality of life
- Very little upkeep
- A resilient and long-lasting tooth replacement resolution
- Stop surviving teeth from fluctuating in position
- Renewed proper chewing and speaking abilities
- Allocates bite forces evenly to protect your real teeth
- Upholds the muscles of the face, preserving a more vibrant look
- Helps maintain the natural outline of your face
