Losing teeth can impact the health, function, and beauty of your smile, and our team can help replace what was lost. A dental bridge provides a cosmetic way to take on missing teeth. In today’s blog, your team at Balboa Dental Surgery talks about providing bridges for our Newport Beach, CA, patients.
The Loss Of Your Natural Teeth
If you lose a tooth, or two to three in a row, then we could help fill the gap and restore function to your smile with a dental bridge. The prosthetic is also custom-made from lifelike and durable materials to ensure a more natural appearance and the ability to enjoy your favorite foods again. By addressing the gap, you can help avoid complications with missing teeth, such as misalignment, TMJ disorder, bruxism (teeth grinding), and even issues with clear speech or the ability to enjoy your favorite dishes! If you have minor tooth loss, see our team right away for treatment.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is custom-made to ensure it fits well, keeps your bite balanced, and offers a durable and lifelike way to take on a lost tooth (or three). Our team will start by numbing the tooth on each side of the gap in your smile. These are known as abutment teeth and we will remove structure from them. Our team then takes detailed images and measurements of the prepared teeth and the gap, which we use in a lab setting to design and craft a new prosthetic. When the prosthetic is complete, it will contain new teeth with crowns on each end. We simply attach the crowns to the abutment teeth for a non-surgical way to address tooth loss!
Dental Implant Options
Our team could also insert one to two dental implants into the jaw, which keeps it intact and allows your new teeth the ability to last for decades to come. Instead of removing structure from natural teeth, we use the implant portions to support the crown portion of your new prosthetic. Our team can help you decide which one is best for you.
