Dental Bridges in Boca Raton
A dental bridge is a dental appliance that is used to replace one or more missing teeth. Literally, this restoration "bridges" the gap left by a missing tooth, and is grounded on either side by a dental crown. Unlike removable dentures, a bridge is fixed into place. With the proper care and maintenance, a dental bridge can enhance a patient's smile for a lifetime.
Why do I Need a Dental Bridge?
When a tooth is lost or knocked out, it leaves a gap in the person's smile. Not only is this gap esthetically displeasing, but it can cause surrounding teeth to drift out of position, affecting the person's bite. The gap left by a missing tooth can also cause a person's surrounding teeth and gum tissue to be more susceptible to decay and cavities.
A bridge is the most natural choice when a person is left with gaps after losing a tooth.
The Dental Bridges Process
The dental bridges process is completed in two visits to Dr. Pohl's Boca Raton restorative dentistry practice.
During the first visit, Dr. Pohl will gently reduce the size of the teeth surrounding the gap to make room for the crowns that will be placed on them to ground the bridge. He will then take an impression of the gap and surrounding teeth, which will be sent to a dental laboratory for the construction of the dental crowns and bridge.
Once the restorations are constructed, the patient will return to Dr. Pohl's office for a second and final visit of the dental crowns process. During this visit, the dental crowns and adjoining bridge are fitted over the teeth, adjusted for the best appearance and fit, then permanently cemented into place.
If you are missing one or more teeth, a dental bridge is the most natural replacement method available to you. At the restorative dentistry practice of Dr. Pohl, the most natural-looking porcelain bridges are used to ensure a beautiful result. If you would like to fill the gaps in your smile with dental bridges, Boca Raton dentist Dr. Mitchell Pohl would like to speak with you. Contact Dr. Pohl today to schedule a restorative dentistry consultation.
