Fixed Bridge
Fixed Bridge
Crown and Bridge
A Fixed Bridge is a dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of two or more crowns (also known as abutments) attached to the teeth on either side of the gap, with a false tooth (pontic) in between. The crowns are cemented onto the natural teeth, anchoring the bridge in place and providing a stable chewing surface. Fixed bridges are a durable and long-lasting solution for restoring your smile and maintaining proper dental function.
Am I a Candidate for a Fixed Bridge?
Determining whether you're a candidate for a Fixed Bridge depends on several factors:
1. Oral Health: Candidates typically have healthy teeth and gums. If you have gum disease or untreated cavities, these issues may need to be addressed before getting a Fixed Bridge.
2. Missing Teeth: Fixed Bridges are suitable for individuals with one or more missing teeth and adjacent healthy teeth to support the bridge.
3. Realistic Expectations: Understanding the limitations and benefits of a Fixed Bridge is crucial. While it provides a natural-looking restoration, it's essential to have realistic expectations about the results.
4. Commitment to Oral Hygiene: Maintaining good oral hygiene is vital for the longevity of a Fixed Bridge. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are necessary to prevent decay and gum disease.
5. General Health: Your overall health, including factors like pregnancy or breastfeeding, may influence your candidacy. It's essential to discuss any health concerns with your dentist.
Consult with your dentist to determine if a Fixed Bridge is the right option for restoring your smile and oral health.
