Am I a Candidate for a Dental Bridge? |
Posted on 2/8/2021 by Todd Jorgenson |
 A dental bridge is an artificial tooth that is held in place by the teeth adjacent to the cavity formed by the lost or damaged tooth that is being replaced. Since dental bridges are one of the safest and most efficient tooth replacements available to patients, they are highly preferred by both patients and our professionals alike. However, they are not suitable for every patient, and a candidate for dental implants must meet certain criteria in order to get a successful dental bridge implant.
For Whom are Dental Bridges Most Suitable?
Dental bridges are highly recommended for those patients who have lost or broken one or a few teeth due to accidents, dental trauma, and tooth decay. The technique of dental bridging allows the teeth to look naturally fitted and does not hinder the contouring of the jawline. If you have lost your teeth due to any dental diseases, this method may not be a good option for you, as diseases affect and weaken your entire set of teeth. However, if your dental disease has only reached a preliminary state where it has not spread on to other teeth, then dental bridging may be appropriate for you.
The Condition of the Adjacent Teeth
Before any prior considerations, the primary requirement for ensuring a successful bridge treatment is having healthy and completely illness-free teeth surrounding the cavity. Since the bridge will be lodged between these teeth, they need to be strong enough to support the implant. Ultimately, the perfect candidates for dental bridges are those who have excellent overall oral hygiene and do not require any additional oral treatments at present or in the foreseeable future.
Our professionals study each case meticulously to find the best possible method of tooth replacement or implantation. If you are considering dental bridges to replace your missing teeth, please schedule an appointment with us today.
