Why Are Dental Bridges a Great Option for You?

A dental bridge, as mentioned above, is used to fill a gap in your smile due to missing teeth. Bridges work well for one or two missing teeth, but not for replacing full arches or teeth that aren’t adjacent. Bridges work by attaching to neighboring teeth, using them as an anchor. There are two main parts to a bridge, the crowns and the pontic. Bridges can use your existing adjacent teeth if they are healthy, or in some cases, a dental implant can be installed and used as the anchor.

When getting a bridge, you have two options, whether you would like a removable bridge or a fixed bridge. Each has its own set of pros and cons. Fixed bridges provide a worry-free guarantee that the device won’t fall out, and is securely attached with bonding agents or dental implants. These can be more expensive. A removable bridge is great for easier cleaning when daily brushing or flossing.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

Regardless of which bridge you get, there are numerous reasons why a person would want to choose a bridge over a denture. A few of the benefits you can gain from having a dental bridge can include the following:

Smile restoration.

Restore the ability to chew food and speak properly.

No glue or adhesive required as with dentures.

Bridges provide a more natural appearance, versus dentures.

Prevent bone loss, which can contribute to changes in facial shape.

Prevent teeth from moving out of position, resulting in alignment problems, bad bites, crowding or gaps.

Fixed bridges using dental implants offer a permanent solution to missing teeth.

With proper care, patients who have bridges installed can expect them to last up to 15 years, sometimes longer depending on the method of installation and what materials are used to construct the crown and pontic.

The Struggles of Having Missing Teeth

Not everyone suffers from having a missing tooth or teeth, but it can happen to anyone. Whether you have had an injury, illness, or severe tooth decay that led to an extraction, missing teeth can weigh heavy on your self-esteem.

Your smile is one of the first things a person will notice about you, be it a co-worker, employer, friends, or any other potential relationship. Those that go into social situations confidently do get better results, in virtually all aspects of their life. Confidence is key. With missing teeth, a part of this confidence fades and is replaced with anxiety and worry that the other person is solely focusing on a visible flaw.

Luckily there is a solution to teeth replacement; dental bridges are an excellent choice for anyone who wants a full, natural-looking smile and to fill the gap of a missing tooth.

Regain Lost Confidence – Be Free to Be You!

Having a gap in your smile can take its a toll on your confidence, but it doesn’t mean you have to keep going through life disliking your smile. With dental bridges, you can have a permanent solution to missing teeth that look and feel exactly like your teeth. You will no longer have to worry about having your picture taken, or not being as carefree about smiling. Instead, you can focus on living your life to its fullest!

FAQ

Are Dental Bridges Permanent?

There are two types of bridges, those that are removable and those that are fixed. A fixed bridge is a top option for those that want a worry-free solution to missing teeth that look more natural and won’t fall out. Most patients can expect to get 15 years out of the bridges, sometimes more with proper care.

How Much Does a Dental Bridge Cost With Insurance?

The cost of bridges depends significantly on what insurance company you have, and what type of bridge you have installed. Those that use dental implants and bridges may not be covered by insurance. Dental implants on average cost $2,500 to $3,500 each, and then the cost of the bridgework. For fixed or removable bridges using your own teeth are typically covered up to 50% by insurance; however, this will vary from plan to plan.

Does a Dental Bridge Hurt?

Dental bridges are a painless procedure. The area being worked on will be adequately numbed, and most patients report feeling no pain at all. Once the work is done to prepare the teeth for accepting the bridge, a temporary bridge will be fitted. There is only minor discomfort on the first day or two.

When Should a Dental Bridge Be Replaced?

There is no set time that a dental bridge should be replaced. Typically patients will have a bridge replaced due to failure of the dental fixture. They can also be replaced if the teeth used to attach the bridge weaken or become decayed. In this situation, patients can have the decayed teeth removed and fitted with a dental implant as a new supporting structure.
