Brentwood, CA area dentist describes dental bridges

Dental Bridges Brentwood CA - Happy Patient about Bridges Dentistry Missing teeth can impact the appearance, function, and health of the smile. Patients who have lost a tooth due to an injury or have recently had a tooth extracted are encouraged by the team of Brentwood Family Dental to consider options for replacement as soon as possible. This avoids the possibility of the surrounding teeth shifting and resulting in gaps between teeth. There are many options available to patients in the community interested in replacing one or more teeth, including dentures, bridges, and implants. All of these are available at our practice. However, many of our patients enjoy the benefits of the “middle-of-the-road” solution – dental bridges.

What are dental bridges?

Patients who are missing one or more teeth may choose to use dental bridges to replace their teeth. Bridges stretch across the gap left by missing teeth and use the surrounding teeth for support. They essentially “bridge the gap” in a more permanent manner than partial dentures. Bridges are made and bonded permanently onto the adjacent teeth. Patients keep the restoration clean by brushing and then flossing underneath the bridge as well as around it. This can reduce the risk for the development of periodontal disease.

How long can dental bridges last?

Dental bridges are known for lasting quite a long time with proper care and attention. Most patients enjoy their dental bridges for ten years or longer. Bridges are still susceptible to breaking so it is important not to chew on hard objects such as ice and to avoid injury to the mouth area with mouth guards during high impact sports activities. Conditions such as bruxism may also cause patients to consider the advantages of using a mouth guard to avoid wear and tear not only on the dental bridge but on the existing natural teeth.
