What is the deal about Dental Bridge?

Losing your teeth can sometimes place a burden on your self-confidence. Missing or extracted teeth can raise concerns of infection, but permanent solutions are available today with dental treatment coming a long way in the past years. With implants and bridges both being easily available treatments, the questions you should ask your dentist or prosthodontist can be quite a few: What’s the difference between a dental bridge vs. implant? Which one’s the right treatment option for you? Numerous factors will play a role in your decision, including something really important: did you just lose teeth or did it happen a while ago. The Kemah Family Dental, TX  which is suitably located near League City, Bacliff, Seabrook, Dickinson, and La Porte, is the best option available and accepts Medicaid. 

Dental bridges are employed to bridge the gap between one or multiple missing teeth. The bridge is supported by natural teeth or implants on both sides. It is made up of two or more crowns creating support on both sides of the gap. As an important prerequisite, the adjacent teeth need to be shaved or cut by removing most part of the enamel, in order to permanently cement the bridge in alignment with the other teeth and adjoining gum. Finally, a cap is then placed over each tooth, which is essentially the long bridge covering the missing teeth underneath. Sometimes, there are no teeth on both sides of the gap. A solution to that is to employ “Cantilevered Bridge”. It is attached to a single tooth on one side, and the bridge device is placed on top of it. Crowns and bridges are both fixed dental restorations to restore or replace teeth entirely. They are cemented onto existing teeth or onto dental implants and are only removable by a dentist.
