Dental Bridges in St.Catharines

Are you missing teeth and having trouble speaking or chewing, or straining when biting food? Bridges may be the ideal procedure to help make your mouth healthy and beautiful again. Bridges literally “bridge” gaps between teeth by filling them with strong, natural-looking artificial teeth. Bridges are semi-permanent – they can only be removed by a dentist – and are comfortable and proven to strengthen teeth.

A bridge is something that can replace a missing tooth. Usually, with a bridge, it would adhere to a tooth adjacent to the missing gap. For example, imagine this tooth is missing. We would prepare teeth on either side and then you can have a bridge prepared and you glue the group bridge onto the prepared teeth and you have a fake tooth in the middle.
 

You glue it in position so that replaces the tooth, which is attached to the teeth on either side. They can treat several gaps in one go. Bridges can be an alternative to removable partial dentures, depending on the number of teeth that you have missing, but it would depend on the teeth on either side and the strength of them.
 

It's best that you go and talk to your dentist, have some extra is taken and your teeth assessed to see whether this would be an appropriate treatment for you. This particular type of bridge is a fixed bridge and it is one of the more destructive types of bridges. There are newer, more modern types of bridges, such as sticky bridges, but it's probably best you go and see a dentist to see which bridge is appropriate for you.
 

Dental bridges stay in place via a dental cement, so they are gluten pace and they are fixed in position, so they are not removable.

Usually, people cannot tell that you are, have a bridge in place, especially if the tooth color and the control of the tooth is similar to your own. You can have a bridge straight after a tooth extraction, but it would only be an immediate bridge.

​

After two is extracted, you'd find that the socket heals and it recedes, so you may need a more permanent bridge afterward. Usually, after an extraction, you could have an immediate denture and then a bridge as a more permanent solution. A bridge is a two visit appointment. On the first visit, you would go and see your dentist and they would prepare the teeth and take some impressions to send to the laboratory.
 

Typically, two weeks later, the lab would send back your fixed prosthesis and you would go back and see the dentist and they would fix your bridge for you. It's important that you still clean and maintains your bridge by flossing around the adjacent teeth.
