Resolve Problems Caused by Missing Teeth with a Natural-Looking Dental Bridge
Although tooth loss is quite common, especially in seniors, most people don’t simply live with missing teeth. Modern dentistry gives you numerous dental options for restoring lost teeth and completing your smile. You could benefit from a natural-looking dental bridge if you’ve lost several teeth in a row. A preliminary dental exam from your Aurora, Illinois dentist, Dr. Khaja Mohsinuddin, can determine if a bridge is a good fit for you. If so, you can schedule dental bridge services at our Total Health Dental clinic.
How a Dental Bridge Works to Restore Your Smile
Dental bridges are prosthetic teeth anchored to porcelain crowns fitted onto healthy adjacent teeth. Dr. Mohsinuddin will prepare the anchoring teeth by removing some enamel to accommodate the crowns. We’ll then take impressions of your mouth to custom-design prosthetics that fit comfortably and closely resemble the appearance of your natural teeth to give you a pleasing and natural-looking smile. Dental bridges can be made of metal, porcelain fused to metal, or ceramic material. We’ll explain the pros and cons of each and help you select the best option for you.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
Losing multiple teeth can ruin your smile, especially if these teeth are highly visible, such as front teeth. A natural-looking bridge can restore your smile by filling the gap left by missing teeth. A dental bridge can also:
- Facilitate chewing, giving you greater variety in your diet
- Improve your ability to speak clearly
- Help you retain your natural bite to prevent uneven wear on your teeth
- Provide support for your face and jaw to keep them from sagging after losing natural teeth
- Keep natural teeth from shifting out of position to fill the gap left by missing teeth
- Encourage you to smile more often, making you and others happy
