What are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a custom-made replacement for one or more missing teeth that literally bridges the gap created when teeth are lost. The traditional fixed bridge, the most common type, involves creating a crown for the teeth on either side of the missing tooth, with a pontic in between. At Longpoint Dental, the team uses the latest technology to craft bridges for your teeth that are both durable and aesthetically pleasing.
How Long Will A Tooth Bridge Last?
A dental bridge, with proper care and maintenance, can last 10-15 years or even longer. Factors such as the material chosen, the health of the adjacent teeth, and overall oral hygiene play a crucial role. At Longpoint Dental, we use high-quality materials for our fixed bridges to ensure maximum longevity and provide detailed guidance to our patients on maintaining their dental bridges.
Benefits of a Dental Bridge
Opting for a bridge comes with numerous benefits:
- Restores your ability to chew and speak properly.
- Maintains the shape of your face, preventing the sunken appearance associated with missing teeth.
- Distribute the forces in your bite properly by replacing missing teeth.
- Prevents remaining teeth from drifting out of position.
- Offers a permanent, non-removable solution, unlike traditional dentures.
At Longpoint Dental, we ensure that each permanent dental bridge is tailored to provide these long-term benefits, enhancing not only your oral health but also your overall quality of life.
