BEAUTIFUL PORCELAIN BRIDGES IN RICHMOND HILL, NY

SERVING JAMAICA, QUEENS AND MUCH MORE

Dental bridges are a great way to restore missing teeth and replace gaps in your smile. After the bridge is placed, it will be permanently affixed to the other adjoining teeth for a secure fit that looks and functions just like natural teeth. At Gentle Dental Care, we offer custom bridges that fit your mouth perfectly and will look great for years to come.

Why Are Dental Bridges Popular?

Dental bridges are one of the most common restorative treatments for replacing missing teeth. They have a number of advantages, including improved appearance and alignment of teeth, better speech and pronunciation, improved chewing ability, and even a reduction in cavities due to less exposed gum tissue. With proper care and maintenance, dental bridges can also last many years.

The Types of Dental Bridges

Fixed bridges are the most common type of bridge and consist of two crowns with a false tooth in between them. These are anchored to the adjacent teeth on either side of the gap, providing stability and support. Fixed bridges are often made from porcelain fused to metal or all-porcelain materials for a natural look.

Cantilever bridges are similar to fixed bridges but are only anchored to one tooth instead of two. These are usually used on the back teeth where there is less side-to-side force when chewing. Resin bonded bridges, or Maryland bridges, involve attaching a false tooth to the back of adjacent teeth with a metal framework for support.

Caring for Bridges

When you first start wearing the new bridge, the dentist will likely ask you to wear it for some time without removing it. Proper care is essential to keep your bridge looking and functioning its best. Brush twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste, floss daily to remove trapped food particles from the gap between teeth, and use an antibacterial mouthwash to kill bacteria in areas that are hard to reach. See your dentist for regular checkups and cleanings to ensure your bridge is in good condition.
