With oral health, function, and aesthetic benefits, you can’t go wrong with dental bridges in Edmonton, OK!
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a single prosthetic consisting of one or two restoration teeth situated between dental crowns. The crowns cap the healthy tooth on either side of the smile gap, allowing the bridge to complete the smile.
The dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic—only your dentist can remove it. When a prosthetic is fixed, you can count on stability, and you’ll not have to worry about embarrassing shifts and tilts when you chew or speak with friends.
Dental Bridge Maintenance and Upkeep
For best results, we recommend a floss threader or water floss, coupled with a special cleaning brush. It’s crucial to keep the gumline and prosthetic clean to avoid oral health issues like gum disease and infections, which can lead to bridge failure and additional tooth loss.
A dental team member will talk to you about these supplies and show you how to use them.
After we fit you with your custom dental bridge, it’s important to maintain regular dental checkups and cleanings. You should also brush and floss as usual to keep your remaining teeth and gums healthy. Always report dental health issues or changes to your dentist sooner rather than later—for example, gum swelling, recurring bad breath, or loose crowns.
