If you lose even one tooth, it can affect your confidence, your smile, and even your dental function. Our Kansas City, MO dental practice wants patients to know that they can receive important benefits from the placement of a custom dental prosthetic. We can provide you with a dental bridge that remains fixed in place without requiring oral surgery. There are several benefits to a restoration that is securely held. One is that it can help you with biting and chewing, which can be important for your dental function and oral health. You can also feel more comfortable with a stable prosthetic while laughing and speaking. Your dental bridge will be carefully made to match your surrounding teeth. Because of its lifelike appearance, the bridge can help to restore your confidence in your smile!
Dental Bridges Can Stay In Place Without Oral Surgery
How is it possible to permanently set a prosthetic in place without oral surgery? Your dental bridge will be supported by a pair of dental crowns placed over the teeth around your missing tooth. These crowns ensure that your pontic (the replacement tooth in your bridge) remains in position. This degree of stability even ensures that you can trust the restoration to stay secure when you bite and chew, so you will not have to avoid putting pressure on it.
Putting Your Custom Dental Bridge In Place
We provide dental bridges that are made for individual patients. Having a custom bridge is about more than just a comfortable fit – we also want to make sure your bridge looks natural when you smile! Before we bond the crowns of your bridge in place, we will confirm that the bridge is just the right shape, size, and color for you. Once set, your bridge can feel like a natural part of your smile. The stability provided by the crowns of a bridge help with more than just single-tooth restorations. Bridges can actually make it possible to craft a restoration that includes multiple pontics for patients with several missing teeth.
Choosing A Dental Implant Bridge
A dental implant bridge is secured by a titanium post that is surgically placed directly in your jawbone. This post provides a remarkable degree of stability for a restoration, which patients can feel more comfortable with over time. They also eliminate the need to hold a prosthetic in place by putting crowns in healthy teeth. Over the years, your implant-held bridge can provide important support for your jawbone, as the implant will stimulate the bone, and maintain a delivery of nutrients necessary for preventing jawbone deterioration.
