With all the procedures available today for restoring and replacing damaged teeth, it can be somewhat confusing, daunting and intimidating to choose what could be best for you. Fortunately you have your trained and professional dentist in Spokane and his or her certified staff to help you make the decision which is in your best interest.
Dental bridges are available and your dentist is more than happy to explain and teach you about them when you schedule an appointment. While you are there, go ahead and get your teeth cleaned or whitened for that long lasting gleam and freshness in your smile.
Dental bridges are part of a family of procedures meant to replace natural teeth which may have been lost due to accident, age, sickness, or injury. The dental bridge is made up of two crowns with the artificial tooth in between them. The crowns are placed on either side of the gap caused by the missing tooth and then anchored to the two natural remaining teeth to hold the artificial tooth in place.
This is how the bridge got its name. The apparatus “bridges” the gap left by the loss of a tooth. In some cases, a bridge may also be anchored by a dental implant which is a steel rod conveyor connected to the jaw bone. This gives the bridge much greater stability and durability.
After having a crown put in, it is pertinent that you keep it clean and well cared for. Make sure to schedule more regular appointments with your Spokane dentist to ensure that your bridge is still firmly attached and working properly. You do not have to live with the health and social consequences of a missing tooth. Bridges look quite natural and perform just the same as a regular tooth would. Call your dentist today.
