Resolve Tooth Loss Woes with a Fixed Dental Bridge

Problems with multiple tooth loss should always be resolved as quickly as possible to keep the rest of your teeth from shifting. We recommend getting a dental bridge to replace multiple consecutive missing teeth at Mirage Family Dentistry. A fixed dental bridge for missing upper or lower front teeth will complete your smile naturally, improve your eating ability, and restore speech clarity. Here are some facts about dental bridges that your Yorktown, Virginia dentist, Dr. Rajni Kapoor, wants you to know.

Why Choose a Fixed Bridge?

If you’re missing two to four teeth consecutively and have healthy teeth on either side of the gap left by missing teeth, you could be a candidate for a dental bridge. A bridge is a dental device used to replace one or more missing teeth. Dr. Kapoor can support your bridge by placing dental crowns on the healthy teeth on either side of your device. Fixed dental bridges offer a permanent tooth loss solution, as they’re non-removable. Unlike an implant-supported bridge, there’s no surgery or lengthy waiting period to complete your treatment. With a fixed dental bridge, we can complete your smile within weeks at less cost.

PATIENT RESULTS

Issue: Cracked and non-restorable top right lateral incisor needing an extraction and chipped and stained other upper front teeth.

Solution: Replace the missing lateral incisor with a Fixed Bridge using two front teeth and the right canine as anchors.

Here are the key benefits of choosing a fixed bridge for multiple tooth loss: 

• Functionality
  As we mentioned earlier, a fixed dental bridge is supported by dental crowns placed on healthy teeth on either end of your bridge. These crowns keep your device in place permanently. Your bridge will function like natural teeth for smiling, biting, and chewing. You can eat all your favorite cuisines and experiment with new ones without worrying about your teeth.
• Esthetics
  A custom-crafted porcelain bridge will blend seamlessly with your natural teeth to give your smile a pleasing appearance. It’s okay if your supporting teeth aren’t perfect, as they will be covered with a perfect crown to enhance their appearance. Your dental bridge will fit comfortably into the space left by missing teeth to keep your natural teeth in alignment and restore your smile’s balance and symmetry.  
• Comfort and Care
  Comfort is yet another advantage of getting a dental bridge. Your device will be custom-designed for optimal comfort to make it as easy as possible to adjust to your new teeth. Fixed bridges don’t require special care, like dentures. By brushing and flossing regularly and seeing your dentist for routine cleanings, your bridge will stay healthy and strong – just like your natural teeth.
• Expediency
  If you want your smile whole again quickly, Dr. Kapoor and our team can accommodate your wishes with a fixed bridge. This treatment doesn’t require surgery and can be completed relatively quickly in just a matter of weeks. We can have you smiling again with a fixed dental bridge!
