Reasons to Choose a Dental Bridge

The primary reason that our dentist in Cambridge, ON at Dental Art Clinic recommends bridges is that they are easy to put in, clean, and they will control the shifting of your other teeth. If space is left empty after removing a tooth, the healthy teeth will shift toward it, causing them to become loose.

Food particles can also settle into these spaces and break down, leading to decay-causing bacteria that can spread throughout your mouth. A bridge can prevent these problems from happening and provide a supportive structure for your other teeth to remain healthy.

What is a Dental Bridge?

The fixed dental bridge is the most common bridge that dentists use. The remaining healthy teeth help support the structure, which includes a pink gum-looking base with pontics that replace your missing teeth. Pontics are the artificial teeth on the base. On each end of the bridge are dental crowns that fit over the teeth on either side of the bridge.

Our dentists at the Cambridge dental office will customize the bridge to your teeth by taking a digital impression of your mouth. The digital impression provides more accurate measurements then a molded impression, which means your bridge will fit better and more comfortably.

Preparing Your Teeth

Our dentist that is working with you will need to prepare the teeth on either side of the ones that are missing. They will shorten or trim the width of the teeth to ensure that the crowns fit over them to support the bridge. Then, when the bridge fits in place, he or she will cement the crowns in place.

To keep the bridge clean, you take care of it like you do your natural teeth by brushing and flossing every day. If you are missing teeth or need extractions, consult with one of our dentists at Dental Art Clinic in Cambridge, ON about replacing them with a bridge to ensure that your other teeth remain healthy and function normally.
