Dental bridges treatment in Budapest has become easy over the time. Nowadays, one can find a number of expert dentists offering dental bridges and tooth implants at competitive prices.
Dental bridges are used to bridge the gap in the teeth line caused by one or more missing tooth/teeth. Two porcelain crowns are fixed on teeth on either side of the gap. These supporting teeth are called abutment teeth. Between these crowns are the ‘pontics' or the false teeth which fill up the gap created by missing teeth. Pontics can be made from gold, silver, porcelain or alloys. There are three kinds of dental bridges.
- Fixed Dental Bridges which make use of two abutment teeth on either side of the gap bonded with porcelain crowns and a pontic or false teeth in between the crowns
- Bonded Dental Bridges which do not make use of porcelain crowns but two metal wings that are bonded to the back of the teeth on either side of your gap to hold the pontic in place
- Cantilever bridges, which make use of only one natural tooth or teeth to support the pontic
Tooth implants
Tooth implant is a recent procedure as compared to dental bridges. Implants are fixed permanently. They need not be removed every day and night for cleaning. They are exactly like the natural teeth with same color and weight. They are usually made of porcelain and are implanted in the gap in teeth line.
They are durable, long lasting, strong and hygienic. An implant allows you to floss between your teeth naturally without requiring a special floss thread. This considerably reduces the risk of decay or cavities in the supporting teeth because of the hard to reach places. With implants you need not get a new bridge every time when there is a problem with one of the supporting tooth or even with the artificial tooth in the middle. In the long run, while implants may be initially costlier, they serve better than a bridge. One can find good dentists with expertise in tooth implant in Budapest using internet and classifieds.
