What Is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is a dental prosthetic used to replace one or more missing teeth. The dental bridge is securely attached to the adjacent teeth, known as abutment teeth, and spans the spaces where the missing teeth used to be. Dental bridges are typically made from ceramic or porcelain materials that closely match the color of your natural teeth. In addition to restoring your smile, dental bridges can also improve your bite by preventing your teeth from shifting out of place. Bridges can also help to restore the function of your teeth by making it easier to chew and speak.
What is the Difference Between a Dental Bridge and a Dental Implant?
Dental bridges and dental implants are two popular options for tooth replacement. Bridges are usually made of porcelain or ceramic and are supported by dental crowns. Dental implants are titanium posts that are placed into the jawbone to support dental prosthetics. Dental bridges are typically less expensive than dental implants, but they require more maintenance and have a shorter lifespan. Dental implants are a better long term investment for your oral health and life as they are more durable and require less maintenance. Dental implants are designed to be a permanent solution providing secure and sustainable placement and prosthetic materials.
While dental bridges are a great way to restore your smile, they do require extra care and attention to keep them clean and free of bacteria. Here are a few tips for taking care of your dental bridge:
-Brush twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and dental floss designed specifically for bridgework.
-Be sure to floss under the dental bridge as well as around the abutment teeth. Food particles can easily become trapped in these areas, leading to decay and gum disease.
-Visit your Riverview dentist regularly for professional cleanings and checkups. Your dentist can spot any early problems with your dental bridge and address them before they become serious.
By following these simple care instructions, you can help keep your dental bridge looking great for many years to come.
