Introduction to Dental Bridges
If you are missing teeth, it’s important to talk to your dentist about what alternatives are available to fill in that empty space. When teeth are missing, other existing teeth will shift in order to fill in that gap. This can result in a misaligned bite and other issues. A dental bridge is often an excellent choice to replace missing teeth. There are many different types of bridges, perfectwatches.cc so it’s important to discuss the options with Dr. Valencia to determine which one is the right choice for you. The most traditional type of bridge is usually made from a porcelain crown mounted on a metal frame. The frame fits snugly over adjacent teeth, and the crown fills in for the missing tooth. This kind of bridge can be removed by the patient for cleaning or any other purpose. Another type of dental bridge is fixed, meaning it cannot be removed by the patient.
