How Dental Bridges Can Help You Maintain Good Oral Health


Posted on 1/9/2023 by Thomas Mahar
How Dental Bridges Can Help You Maintain Good Oral HealthDental bridges are prosthetics that act as the root for missing teeth. When you visit a dentist, you will be offered different types of bridges. Here are three reasons dental bridges are crucial for maintaining your oral health.

Prevent Your Teeth from Shifting


Missing teeth can trigger several oral health issues. Adjacent teeth provide support and prevent teeth from moving. Chewing and eating some foods may cause the remaining teeth to shift out of place.

Dental implants provide the support lost from missing teeth. An implant has a titanium root that fuses with the jawbone to maintain the structure of the remaining teeth. If the teeth move out of place, they can cause pain and discomfort.

Restore Teeth Function and Speech


Missing teeth may also make it challenging to chew. An implant covers the space to eliminate the discomfort when eating certain foods. Food particles can accumulate in the spaces, exerting pressure on the exposed gums. It can trigger inflammation and worsen the pain when eating.

You can restore the tooth's function by covering the gaps with a dental bridge. Also, missing teeth could affect the pronunciation of words. A dentist can offer effective dental treatments to restore your speech.

Restore Your Smile and Confidence


You may also become self-conscious due to missing teeth. Speech problems and gaps between teeth may impact your confidence and self-esteem. In severe cases, the structure of your face may change. It is usually due to jawbone deterioration since the tooth is not exerting the required pressure on the teeth.

A dentist may pick from several varieties of dental bridges to address jawbone resorption. Dental specialists may recommend bone grafting if the resorption is severe. An implant will also restore your smile by enhancing the appearance of your teeth to boost your confidence.
