Missing even a single tooth can make life much harder, and if you’ve lost several of them, you probably struggle to eat and smile with confidence. Your teeth are valuable tools, and without them you’ll have problems doing some of the most important things in life.
Thankfully, there are quick and easy ways to replace many of the teeth that you’re missing. Dental bridges, for example, can rely on the teeth you already have in order to fully fill out your smile. If you’re near Westerville, OH, the team here at Tzagournis Dental Group will be able to outfit you with dental bridges perfect for your smile.
Dental bridges are a series of false teeth, typically constructed from ceramic, sandwiched together in order to fill up the gaps in your smile. As you might imagine, they’re best suited to helping patients missing several of their teeth right next to each other.
There are a few different kinds of dental bridges, each well-suited to different patients. We’ll be able to give you a better sense of which you should pick when we meet you in person; until then, here’s a little bit of information about what sets each of them apart.
Traditional bridges are secured in place with two dental crowns that are adhered to the natural teeth. The false teeth are sandwiched in between them. This method of replacing teeth allows you to fill out your smile without the need for surgery, while still affording you remarkable stability.
Dental implants are small metal posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone. A dental bridge can be connected to these implants, meaning that you can fill out your smile without the need to permanently alter any otherwise healthy teeth.
If you just leave the gap in your smile, you’re likely to suffer all kinds of negative effects. Teeth may move to fill the hole in your teeth, causing broader misalignment. This can contribute to reduced confidence, difficulty eating, and even an impaired capacity to speak naturally.
Dental bridges are capable of quickly and easily closing the gaps in your smile, meaning that you won’t have to worry about any of these issues. That means that if you’re missing teeth, you shouldn’t hesitate to schedule an appointment with us.
