Bridge Treatment: Worried about tooth loss? Not any more

Are you suffering from tooth loss that is a consequence of a recent accident or severe tooth decay? Loss of teeth can be significant, especially if it is the front teeth. A good, proper bridge treatment can put an end to your worries. Corner House Dental Practice offers you a bridge treatment option that can restore your lost teeth, support the neighbouring teeth and assure your dental health, all at the same time.

What is a bridge?

A bridge is a device for the replacement of natural teeth by attaching it to the neighbouring teeth. Bridges are normally made with precious metals like gold, porcelain or a combination of porcelain and metal.

Why is bridge treatment necessary?

Losing a tooth can affect the remaining teeth since it adds more pressure on them, thereby altering their supporting and chewing capabilities. If the lost tooth is not replaced soon the remaining teeth will slowly be lost due to the extra force exerted on them. Moreover, the tooth above or below the lost tooth can move, often resulting in periodontal disease and the breaking down of the bone structure.

What are the benefits of bridge treatment?

Bridge treatment with the support of crowns has different advantages:

Prevents the extra pressure on the neighbouring teeth
Keeps the opposing teeth in their proper place
Prevents further dental decay
Prevents periodontal diseases and breaking of bone structure
Provides you a more beautiful smile and more functional teeth

What is the procedure involved in bridge treatment at Corner House Dental Practice?

When it comes to the treatment, applying bridge involves a few sittings with the dentist, which we will make sure are extremely comfortable and convenient for you. The initial step is a dental examination along with the evaluation of your complete dental history, with the help of x-rays if necessary.

In the next sittings we shape your tooth or teeth to assure that the bridge has sufficient space that makes proper fit possible. All the processes would be done after giving you a local anesthesia thereby preventing any kind of pain or discomfort for you. Until your permanent bridge is ready we will provide you with a temporary bridge to protect your remaining teeth.

In your final sittings your final bridge would be applied after making sure that it fits properly, and providing scope for final adjustments if necessary. For the proper functioning of your teeth, we give priority to all the following criteria in bridge treatment:

Strength: Our bridges are strong enough to last for a long time and withstand considerable harm
Function: Our bridges have great chewing and biting accuracy
Aesthetics: We make sure that the bridges matches your remaining teeth in colour and appearance
Tissue compatibility: We ensure that the bridges conform to your mouth tissues and gums

Your concerns after our bridge treatment

Once the treatment is over, we recommend you to take good care of your teeth through proper oral hygiene. This includes daily brushing, twice in fact, and flossing, especially after taking sticky food and drinks. Also, please follow your regular dental check ups to ensure long lasting and healthy teeth.
