A dental bridge is a specially designed restoration that can fill an empty space left by the loss of a tooth. The restoration can be permanently secured without the need for oral surgery, making it an accessible form of care. Because it is fixed in position and stable enough to offer meaningful bite support, this kind of prosthetic can help many people enjoy long-term benefits from smile care, including those who are worried that they might not be a good candidate for a more involved dental procedure.
A dental bridge consists of two dental crowns and at least one pontic (replacement tooth). Its design can ensure that it fits in and looks natural once put in place. The crowns that are included cap teeth at either side of your smile gap, an arrangement that effectively gives you permanent support for a lost tooth. Once in position, you can marvel at how your crown fits in to change your appearance for the better, and how it is able to withstand the force generated whenever you bite and chew.
Through treatment for tooth loss, we help patients enjoy significant recovery from a serious oral health issue. In addition to providing care with dental bridges, we can discuss the placement of a restoration on a dental implant. Implants are set directly into your jawbone so that you can actually stimulate the bone and maintain its health, and so that you can keep a prosthetic in position without the need to modify neighboring teeth.
Once you receive your dental bridge, you can feel a renewed comfort with your bite function, and you can regain your excitement to show off your smile! Our office is ready to help you take on tooth loss issues with different treatment approaches. To find out more, please contact Healthy Smiles in Northwest IN by calling 219-938-2637!
