If you have lost a tooth, or even a few in a row, due to an accident or as a result of decay, you may be curious about your options. At the Dental Centre of Conroe, we want you to love your smile, and for it to be as healthy as possible. So, we offer solutions to tooth loss that will fit your unique situation and smile. In today’s blog, your Conroe, TX, dentist will discuss one such solution, a dental bridge, and the reasons that it could be the right choice for you.
They Look Natural
At the Dental Centre of Conroe, we can create beautiful, natural looking porcelain teeth replacements in the form of dental bridges. Since they are made of porcelain, they will look very similar to your surrounding natural teeth, making them a great, almost imperceptible solution for your tooth loss.
They Are Cheaper Than Other Options
Another great option for tooth replacement is dental implants. However, while implants are a fantastic solution since they replace your teeth from the roots up, they may not be a viable option for many people because of the price. So, a dental bridge is a great, less expensive alternative for replacing your teeth.
They Are Not Removable
Unlike other prosthetic teeth replacements that can be removed and potentially lost, bridges are a permanent solution, as they consist of a row of dental crowns that are attached to one another and then permanently secured to the teeth on either side of the gap in your smile.
They Are A Stable Solution
Because they are secured to your natural teeth, this restoration is a stable way to replace your missing teeth by utilizing the stability of your rooted teeth.
They Help You Chew, Bite, and Articulate Easily
Replacing your teeth will repair your smile, making it much easier to bite and chew the way you could when you had your natural teeth. You will also be able to articulate more easily while you are speaking due to having your whole smile intact.
They Prevent Your Teeth From Shifting
Replacing your teeth with a dental bridge fills the gap in your smile, which, in addition to giving you a fuller and healthier looking smile, will also keep your remaining teeth from shifting to fill the gap in your mouth and becoming crooked. This will keep your smile looking and feeling much better, and prevent you from needing cosmetic care to reverse the misalignment in the future.
