Dental Bridges in Piara Waters
Dental bridges are a highly effective way to replace missing teeth, and at Piara Waters Dental we can help you find the dental bridge that is right for your smile.
What Are Dental Bridges?
If you have a missing tooth, it can affect your appearance and self-confidence.
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthesis that replaces one or more missing teeth by utilising the adjacent healthy, natural teeth as abutments for the fake tooth. It can help fill gaps that cannot be fixed using other methods, such as crowns or implants. A cantilever bridge is the most common type of dental bridge. It involves placing an artificial tooth crown on top of anchor teeth (abutment teeth) to bond securely.
If you would like to know if a dental bridge is the right choice for you, talk to your dentist about your options during a consultation appointment at Piara Waters Dental Clinic in Perth, Western Australia, today! We can discuss all of the details involved in getting this procedure done to know what steps need to be taken before deciding how best to proceed with treatment.
Benefits of
Dental Bridges
Enhance self-esteem
Dental bridges can help people feel better about themselves and their lives by restoring the appearance and function of their teeth. It may also help those who are worried about the aesthetic appearance of their teeth after tooth extraction.
Better chewing function
If you have tooth loss, you may experience issues or discomfort when eating. The shifting of the adjacent teeth toward the gap might cause pain. In addition, food particles get trapped in the socket where your former tooth was, resulting in gum damage. We suggest traditional bridge treatment to eliminate discomfort when eating.
Speech Improvement
Loss of multiple teeth might hinder your ability to pronounce words and result in a lisp. You can get your speech back by correcting the tooth loss that caused your communication issues. Your permanent teeth have a significant impact on how words are formed as you speak. Dental bridges aid in the treatment of voice problems resulting from tooth loss.
Maintain the facial structure
A tooth loss can lead to bone loss in your jawbone if left untreated. The roots of your teeth stimulate jawbone bone tissue. Without this stimulation, the jawbones begin to deteriorate. As a result of jaw bone deterioration, you may also lose other teeth, and your facial features may change. In this situation, a permanent solution such as an implant-supported dental bridge can help since the titanium screw stimulates the jawbone.
Maintaining your teeth's alignment
Your teeth are held in place by permanent tooth roots beneath the gums and stabilized by adjacent tooth. Your remaining teeth may begin to lean toward the vacant space as a result of tooth loss. A prosthetic tooth must be used in place of the missing one during dental bridge treatment to prevent real tooth movement. Healthy teeth that shift can become loose and cause further damage.
