If you are missing one or more consecutive teeth, you need a dental restoration to fill the gaps in your smile. Dental bridges are prosthetics held in place by dental crowns or implants that restore the appearance and function of teeth. We offer dental bridges in The Woodlands to renew the smile after tooth loss.
Dental Bridge Treatment in The Woodlands, TX
Receiving a dental bridge can take two to three visits to Majestic Dental. At your first visit, Dr. Sadeddin will remove a small portion of the enamel from the teeth adjacent to the tooth gap. This preparation ensures that the dental crowns that support the bridge prosthetic fit properly. He will also take dental impressions for the bridge. Once the custom restoration is complete, Dr. Sadeddin will place the bridge over the missing tooth gap.
Because there is a gap beneath your prosthetic tooth or teeth, it is important to know how to clean your bridge properly. Brush and floss gently underneath your restoration to ensure no bacteria or food debris is stuck. Harmful bacteria can build beneath your restoration, creating problems like gum disease and tooth decay if it is not properly cleaned.
Dental Implants and Implant-Supported Bridges
Patients missing single teeth benefit from dental implants; these titanium posts replace teeth at the root and support a dental crown. Implants can also support bridges in the place of crown-capped teeth. Dr. Sadeddin can plan implant treatment to support a dental bridge. He may recommend bone grafting if you do not have sufficient jaw bone to support the implant post or anchor. It may take longer to receive an implant-supported bridge, but this type of bridge will not require special care. Implant-secured bridges can also last longer than traditional options, with the implant permanently in the jaw.
