What are the benefits of dental bridges?
Dental bridges restore your smile by replacing one or more missing teeth, helping improve chewing, speech, and appearance. They prevent neighboring teeth from shifting out of place and help maintain proper bite alignment. Dental bridges are valued for their natural look, fixed placement, and relatively quick treatment process compared to some other tooth replacement options.
How long do dental bridges last?
With proper care, dental bridges can last 10 to 15 years or longer. Their lifespan depends on oral hygiene, regular dental visits, and avoiding habits like chewing ice or hard objects. Routine checkups allow us to monitor the bridge and surrounding teeth to help extend its longevity and performance. Should you have any questions or concerns about your restorations at any time, please let us know.
How do I take care of a dental bridge?
Caring for a dental bridge involves brushing twice daily, flossing carefully around the bridge, and using special flossing tools or water flossers to clean beneath it. Regular professional cleanings are essential. We can also provide personalized home-care instructions to help you keep your supporting teeth and gums healthy and prevent decay or gum disease.
What’s the difference between a dental bridge, partial denture, and dental implants?
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration supported by neighboring teeth, while a partial denture is removable and typically replaces multiple missing teeth. Dental implants replace the tooth root and offer a natural feel and stability. Our experienced team helps patients compare these options based on comfort, longevity, oral health, and budget, and we would be happy to help you!
