DENTIST OF CROWNS AND BRIDGES

Bridges and Crowns can correct:

• Missing teeth
• Bite dysfunction
• Functional or Structural problems

With a crown, a single damaged tooth is restored to its original form and function, and with a bridge, one or more teeth are restored. The crowns and bridges are cemented on, and are known as "fixed" dentistry, as opposed to the use of removable appliances or partial dentures.

Bridges

When a tooth is missing, the neighboring teeth can drift out of position, and that can cause:

• A change in your bite
• Loss of additional teeth
• Decay of the remaining teeth
• Gum disease

If you've lost one or more teeth, we may recommend a bridge .
A bridge is a group of interconnected crowns, which replace the missing teeth and support the surrounding teeth. When it's held in place by two crowns, a bridge can:

• Lower the risk of gum disease
• Help correct any bite misalignment
• Improve clarity of speech

When done by a fully qualified cosmetic dentist, bridges are effective and durable, and can last over 10 years.

		How is a bridge constructed? We will first reshape the targeted teeth so they can accommodate the crowns Then he'll take impressions of those teeth, and from the impressions, the crowns will be made When the crowns are ready, the porcelain tooth or teeth will be bonded to them A temporary bridge will be inserted, giving you a feel of how the final bridgework will modify your mouth A couple of weeks later, the temporary bridge will be removed and the permanent one inserted, adjusted and cemented into place. After the bridge is cemented, you can again enjoy your favorite foods with confidence. Bridges enable us to avoid that sunken look that's caused by missing teeth, and by stabilizing that area they give us a more youthful appearance. We can smile with confidence again.
