Brentwood patients have choices in dental bridges for tooth replacement
When tooth loss occurs in childhood, the experience can be
thrilling. Adults who lose a tooth, on the other hand, have a great
deal to consider. Permanent teeth are supposed to last us our
lifetime. Loss results in problems for the smile and for oral health
and even general wellbeing.
Immediately, tooth loss leaves a gap in the smile. Whether this gap
is at or near the front of the mouth or the back, it will be
noticeable anytime the mouth opens to speak or laugh. Knowing there
is a visible gap, a person may become hesitant to smile broadly or
laugh freely.
Gaps in the smile have a secondary effect, as well. One of the
purposes of teeth is to support the oral structure. When a tooth is
lost, surrounding teeth lose support and can shift out of place.
Depending on the degree of shifting, the smile may be impacted
cosmetically as a result.
At Brentwood Family Dental in beautiful California, we offer choices
for tooth replacement. In addition to the various types of dental
bridges, we also perform dental implant treatment for outstanding
function and beauty. Dental bridges have been used in dentistry for
decades and are still considered a reliable, affordable solution to
tooth loss. The bridge that most people choose is the fixed bridge,
which consists of two crowns fused to an artificial tooth. This
treatment requires the teeth adjacent to the gap to be fitted with
crowns. These teeth will support the artificial tooth for the
restoration of an attractive, functional smile.
With the development of dental implants, a great new way to approach
tooth replacement became available. Patients who have undergone this
treatment report such stability from their restorations that some
cannot tell the difference between them and natural teeth.
Fortunately, dentists have had the opportunity to learn how to
combine implants with restorations such as bridges and dentures.
Patients of Dr. Alkhoury can choose the ultimate in stability
through this combination, having an appropriate number of implants
inserted as support for their bridge.
Your smile deserves the very best, which it can get at Brentwood
Family Dental. Call 925-344-5296 to schedule your visit.
