“Quality is never an accident; it is the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.”
In a normal, healthy mouth, chewing function is well balanced since each upper tooth has proper contact and function with corresponding lower teeth.
Because of this natural proper balance, undue strain or irritation on the gum tissue and bone is non-existent.
Drifting or spreading of teeth does not occur and oral hygiene is easily maintained.
But, this natural proper balance is quickly destroyed when a tooth is lost.
A dental bridge is when two or more crowns are connected together to replace missing teeth.
They are placed over your natural teeth that are prepared to receive the bridge.
Unlike dentures they are permanent fixtures and don’t need to be removed every now and then.
They look and feel natural and are easy to use.
This is what can happen:
The loss of teeth is associated with diminished self-confidence and of course chewing difficulties.
So, it is necessary to replace the missing teeth as early as possible with something that resembles your natural teeth to the maximum.
With recent developments in dentistry, a number of options are now available to the patients to choose from.
Cantilever bridges are another option for replacing missing teeth.
This is where only one tooth is used to support the missing tooth as above.
It is best that you take your dentist’s opinion on which type of dental bridge is best, depending upon your requirements.
Maryland bridges are considered a conservative alternative to traditional bridges.
This is where the there are two ‘wings’ that are used to support the missing tooth.Â
It is best that you take your dentist’s opinion on which type of dental bridge is best, depending upon your requirements.
Traditional bridges can be used when you have natural teeth on both sides of the gap created by your missing tooth.
This is where the two teeth on either side of the missing tooth are prepared to accept the bridge as shown aboveÂ
Missing teeth can be replaced with dental implants or dentures as well.
The cost depends on the number of crowns that are on the bridge and the quality of the crown used.
Each crown can range start from as little as $1,000
