Oral Health Benefits of Replacing Missing Teeth with a Dental Bridge
With all that restorative dentistry has to offer today, there’s no reason for people to live with missing teeth. Losing several teeth in a row leaves an unsightly gap in your mouth that affects your ability to eat and speak and your appearance. Fortunately, this problem can be fixed with a dental bridge. You can learn more about dental bridge treatment at Rugby Dental Arts in Charlottesville, Virginia.
What is a Bridge?
Dental bridges are modern prosthetics that take the place of lost teeth. A bridge commonly replaces One or more missing teeth in a row. Traditional bridges are supported by dental crowns placed on adjacent teeth to hold them in place. Dr. Gregory R Cox will customize your bridge to match the color, shape and size of your natural teeth to give it a natural-looking appearance.
Dental Bridges Benefits
A dental bridge can restore the beauty of your smile by giving you attractive, natural-looking prosthetic teeth. By replacing lost teeth with a bridge, you also benefit from the following:
- Improved chewing – Chewing with missing teeth can be awkward and painful. You may even have to forgo certain types of foods. A dental bridge gives you strong replacement teeth to chew your food, enabling you to enjoy eating once again
- Better oral health – Missing teeth leave gaps in your smile where food particles can hide and cause plaque build-up, which can lead to cavities and gum disease. A dental bridge will fill those gaps, making it easier to keep your teeth and gums clean
- Straighter teeth – Dental bridges keep natural teeth from shifting to fill the gap left by lost teeth. They preserve tooth alignment to prevent problems with your bite and undue wear and tear on your teeth
