Fairhope, AL Family Dentistry: Dental Bridge<\/span><\/h1>\n

\"dental<\/p>\n

\n

Missing teeth need to be replaced <\/span>to<\/span> maintain proper oral health and also to protect overall physical health. When teeth are missing, the entire bite, smile, and chewing function are affected. Not only that, issues with the neighboring teeth that remain can develop. Bridges can provide a lot of strength to teeth that have been damaged, and they can also work to make the appearance, <\/span>shape,<\/span> and color of teeth much more appealing. A dental bridge is a restorative appliance that is designed to replace a single missing tooth or multiple missing teeth. Bridges are used frequently to address issues related to missing teeth and are cemented permanently to your teeth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The professionals at\u00a0<\/span>Sweet Water Dentistry\u00a0<\/span>are skilled at providing patients with high-quality dental bridges and<\/span>\u00a0Dr. Greer<\/span> makes certain that your procedure will be essentially pain-free. Once he has numbed the area, the teeth that sit next to the gap in your mouth will be prepared to receive the bridge. Once the teeth have been prepared for the bridge, a scan will be performed as a means to take the digital impressions needed <\/span>to<\/span> create your bridge. Depending on the size, a small bridge will be fabricated in-house, and a larger bridge will be sent to the lab and temporary crowns will be placed until the final bridge is received.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Successful bridge placement requires healthy gum tissue. Therefore, patients need to follow proper oral hygiene regimens, <\/span>floss,<\/span> and brush twice daily, and stick to a schedule of regular office visits. If missing teeth have been hampering your smile and <\/span>self-esteem<\/span>, you are among those in the Fairhope, AL area who may greatly benefit from having a dental bridge placed.
