Fix the gap between your teeth with dental bridge

When you see a person with a gap between
his/her teeth, how will you react? I know for
sure, you cant help yourself from staring back
to that persons dental gap. Missing teeth,
especially those in front can lead to a really
disturbing situation not only to the person who
has the gap but also to the one whom he/she is
communicating with. Having missing teeth or even
just a tooth can affect ones self-confidence,
especially nowadays when society tend to rely on
their first impression of an individual to
his/her personal attributes.

You may want to ask your dentist on how to fix
gaps in teeth to provide solution to this kind of
problem. With the advancement in dental
technology, many restorative options with
cosmetic advantage can fill the gaps between your
teeth. One of these many options is the use of a
fixed dental bridge. A dental bridge is a dental
appliance that replaces the missing tooth by
using the help of the remaining healthy teeth to
support the appliance in place.

A bridge usually consists of three tooth-like
structures the two crowns serve as abutments or
anchors to the two healthy teeth at the sides of
the gap. If no healthy teeth are present, dental
implants are used as abutments for the dental
bridge. The middle tooth, also called as pontic,
is an artificial tooth used to fill the gap
caused by tooth loss.

A dental bridge is used to fill the spaces
caused by missing tooth. It restores the tooths
natural functions such as chewing and speaking.
Aesthetically, it also preserves the integrity
and shape of the facial structures. And most
importantly, a fixed dental bridge prevents the
remaining teeth from shifting out of their
positions.

In severe cases, where all your teeth are
missing, you can opt to have a full arch
replacement using fixed dental bridge. The
procedure is made possible with the use of dental
implants to serve as abutments and keep the
appliance in place. Only your dentist will be
able to determine the number of dental implants
needed to secure a full arch dental bridge.
7
In instances where a tooth or a few teeth are
left, your dentist will have to extract the
remaining teeth before continuing with the
process of full arch replacement. A full arch
dental bridge also has the same benefits a simple
fixed dental bridge has. It replaces all the
missing teeth thus restoring the ability of the
teeth to chew and speak properly. Most
importantly, a full arch dental bridge is able to
maintain the shape of the face preventing a
caved-in appearance.

This dental appliance will help you change how
you look and feel about yourself. It can help
restore the confidence lost due to missing teeth.
It may even land you the partner or the job you
have been dreaming of.
