  1. Using Fixed Bridges to Restore Your Smile and Replace Your Missing Teeth

  2. Are you missing a tooth? Are your teeth damaged? Do you feel embarrassed about your smile? With these dental appliances, you don’t have to shy away and hide any longer.

  3. Replace your missing teeth and restore your smile. Ask your family dentist about fixed dental bridges.

  4. These dental appliances are often used to fix damaged or broken pearly whites. At most, they are the options used to replace a lost or missing tooth.

  5. Made of tooth-colored porcelain, they are designed to look like your natural teeth. If you have given it some thought, go ahead and try them.

  6. In addition replacing lost teeth, here are some of the wonderful, smile-enhancing dental health benefits of having fixed bridges:

  7. They can be used to cover a dental implant.

  8. Got noticeable gaps or spaces in between teeth? They are perfect at filling those in.

  9. Do you have cracks or chips on your teeth? Dental bridges can do the trick.

  10. They are perfect at covering a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment.

  11. Do you have discolored teeth? Bridges will take care of that.

  12. You can fix a poorly shaped tooth using these dental appliances.

  13. Have you ever wondered why they are called “bridges”?

  14. Just like the one that we use to cross over water in order to move from one body of land to another, these dental appliances have the same function; they fill in the gap or space created.

  15. They look a bit like crowns that are placed on spaces in between two or more teeth.

  16. After the placement procedure is done, many patients have reported that they have regained their ability to speak, chew, or open their mouth properly.

  17. It has also helped maintain the shape and structure of their faces. These dental fixtures have also stopped the remaining teeth from drifting apart and out of position.

  18. There are at least three types of bridges. You can ask your family dentist about these:

  19. Traditional: It is the most common of the three types and is often made of porcelain or ceramics.

  20. Cantilever: This, however, is not highly recommended to be placed at the back of the mouth where it is prone to damaging the other teeth due to the overwhelming force it exerts.

  21. Maryland Bonded: These are usually made of porcelain or are supported by a metal or porcelain framework.

  22. The cost of getting these dental fittings will depend largely on the type or procedure performed. In many cases, they are covered by medical or health insurance.

  23. If you are faced with the aforementioned oral health issues, these dental fixtures can greatly alleviate the functional and aesthetic problems.

  24. What’s more, bridges can last from 5 to 15 years, on the average. But that is not to say that this period cannot be extended.

  25. With strict adherence to check up schedules and observance of good dental hygiene, it is not unusual to prolong their useful life.

  26. Are you planning to have bridges fitted? It might just be one of the best decisions you’ll ever make for your oral health.

  27. If you are seeking professional dental advice, it's time to call Shumway Dental Care.

  28. Their Chandler dentists will ask you questions, examine you, and determine exactly what needs to be done to get you back to normal.
