when a phony tooth is fused in between a porcelain crown to fill in the gap left by a lost tooth is it is called as dental bridge. London bridges reduce the danger of gum infection, help in improving speech and correct bite issues. One needs to take the importance of oral hygiene seriously once someone opts for dental bridges.A person with a missing tooth and follows oral hygiene religiously can go in for dental bridges. If one does not attend to the space left between the teeth, the surrounding teeth may drift away from position and it may become susceptible to gum disease and tooth decay.
Dental bridge can be accomplished by giving anaesthesia. The cosmetic dentist then removes the teeth from the area of abutment so as to accommodate the thick crown. In case the fillings are already present it is left intact to make the foundation of the crown.
The impression made by the dentist will be used as a model for making the crown and the false tooth which will be made in a dental laboratory. The dentist will provide you with a temporary bridge so as to protect your gums and teeth till a permanent bridge is fitted. The permanent bridge is then checked for bite discrepancy.
London Dental bridges are of three types
fixed bridges – as the title suggests cannot be removed like partial dentures.
Bonded bridges – is mainly used for the front teeth.
Cantilever bridges – It is basically used when one side of the space has teeth.
Bridges gives the teeth a natural appearance and if oral hygiene is maintained it could last you for over a decade. The only disadvantage of going in for bridges is that if oral hygiene is not followed properly there is a possibility of the teeth and gums getting affected.
