Dental Bridges: Replace Teeth Economically
Dental bridges offer an excellent option to those that are missing teeth. Not only will you be enhancing the appearance of your smile, but the dental bridge will help prevent adjacent teeth from moving out of their proper positions. Dental bridges also help restore the functional aspects of your dentition such as speech and chewing abilities. Â
Depending on your clinical situation, we can recommend several types of dental bridges, such as:
- Fixed bridge. A fixed bridge uses the two adjacent healthy teeth to hold an artificial tooth in place of your missing tooth. With this type of procedure, the two neighboring teeth are prepared for dental crowns, which are then used to hold an artificial tooth known as a pontic.Â
- ‍Maryland bridge. This bridge style takes its name from the University of Maryland. Instead of having two crowns to support a prosthetic tooth, a Maryland bridge uses two tabs cemented onto the backside of the neighboring teeth to support the restoration. ‍
- Cantilever bridge. A cantilever bridge is similar to a standard fixed bridge, but instead of two teeth, this type of restoration uses just one tooth to support a prosthetic tooth. Since this approach is naturally less stable than a conventional fixed bridge, it is only recommended for certain teeth.Â
Dental Implants: The “Gold Standard” in Tooth Replacement
With a success rate nearing 97% after 10 years, dental implants are the preferred long-term solution to replacing missing teeth. With dental implants, you can replace a single tooth, several teeth in series, or even a full arch of teeth with the All-on-4® treatment concept.
The Better Days Dental team is always here to guide patients on which restorative approach best suits their smile goals.
Dental Crowns: Restore the Strength of Compromised Teeth
Sometimes referred to as “caps,” dental crowns are used to encapsulate and strengthen the tooth. This also helps protect the tooth from bacteria and other contaminants.
Dental crowns are recommended in the following indications:
- Cracked teeth
- Worn teeth
- Root canal therapy
- Restoring a dental implant
- Extensive tooth decay
- Large cavities
Dental crowns are also used in cosmetic dentistry to correct the appearance of stained and misshapen teeth.Â
Dental crowns typically last around 15 years before needing replacement. Although, crowns lasting upwards of 30 years are not that uncommon.Â
