Losing a tooth can be a traumatic experience. Not only your smile is flawed but a missing tooth can create other complications as well. Therefore, dentists recommend dental bridges to preserve the symmetry as well as the dental health of their clients. These tooth implants maintain the shape and lineaments of the face that are endangered due to the absence of tooth from their natural position. The gap created by absence of tooth can cause other teeth to deviate from their original position and grow in a twisted and crooked manner.
The missing tooth can also cause uneven distribution of pressure while chewing, leading to improper digestion of the food. In some severe cases, this can also result into skewed speech thereby hampering your social life and confidence. Hence, getting tooth implants like dental bridges should not be seen just as cosmetic procedures but as corrective treatments that can help you redeem and live your life in full measures.
Different types of dental bridges
Fixed dental bridges:
This procedure involves putting tooth implants called pontics to replace the missing teeth. Pontics are false tooth made out of suitable material like alloys, porcelain and gold that are held in place by using porcelain crowns. Porcelain crowns use the adjacent tooth, on either side of the gap, as anchor to give extra stability, strength and durability to dental bridges.
Bonded dental bridges
Ideal for gaps in the back of your jaw, these kinds of bridges are less complicated and do not require porcelain crowns. The pontics in such regions do not require too much strength as they do not have to face much pressure while chewing or biting. Therefore, the are held in place using metal wigs that fasten at the back of the tooth on either side of the gap, to keep it in place. The offside, however, is the reduced strength of the dental bridge.
Cantilever dental bridges
These kinds of bridges are recommended for gaps lying at the extremes of the jaw. These bridges do not have teeth on either side, so a suitable mechanism is put in place to support the false tooth using one adjacent tooth only. Despite the reduced strength, this is again a successful procedure, because such tooth does not have to undergo much pressure in routine activities like chewing..
