A Simple Solution to Fill the Gap
Are you struggling with a missing tooth that affects your ability to chew or speak, or has the gap impacted your confidence? Missing teeth are common but can negatively affect both your dental function and appearance.
A highly effective solution for replacing a missing tooth is a dental bridge. These restorations are typically made from durable materials like metal alloy, gold, or porcelain. The team at Victory Smiles Dental Center in The Woodlands can help you determine the best material for your specific needs. Turn to Victory Smiles Dental Center for quality dental care, including dental bridges.
What Exactly is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a permanent tooth replacement option composed of two dental crowns and an artificial tooth (called a pontic).
- The two dental crowns are placed on the natural teeth adjacent to the gap (known as abutment teeth).
- These crowns act as anchors, supporting the artificial tooth that fills the space.
This long-lasting restoration can improve your ability to eat and talk. With proper care, a permanent bridge can last for 10 years or more.
Key Benefits of Choosing a Dental Bridge
A dental bridge is a great restoration option, typically requiring two visits: one to prepare the adjacent teeth for the crowns, and a second visit to install the complete bridge.
Here are the top reasons to consider this solution:
- Improved Function: Restore your ability to talk and eat normally.
- Aesthetic Enhancement: Fill the tooth gap to significantly improve the appearance of your smile and boost confidence.
- Prevent Tooth Shift: Keep your natural teeth in place by preventing adjacent teeth from drifting into the missing tooth space.
- Balanced Bite: Even out the pressure distribution across your bite, which helps keep your remaining natural teeth healthy.
- Durability and Maintenance: Enjoy a long-lasting restoration that is easy to care for with regular oral hygiene.
