Dental bridges are used for patients in Miami to replace missing teeth within the dental arch

When adult teeth are missing from the smile, patients need to speak with a dental team as soon as possible for treatment. Delaying services can have a negative impact on the health, appearance, and function of the smile. For example, when a tooth is missing from the dental arch, the existing teeth may shift out of place and result in unwanted gaps. This may only be improved with orthodontics. Missing teeth also make patients feel self-conscious when they smile and result in reduced chewing and speaking efficiency. As soon as a tooth is lost or extracted, patients need to speak to the team of Miami Modern Dental about replacement options.

How can missing teeth be replaced?

The three primary methods of tooth replacement include dentures, dental bridges, and dental implants. There is no "one size fits all" option for our patients, so we speak to individuals about their options and which one may be best suited for their specific goals. Not every patient desires the same restoration, but we do find that dental bridges are a great option for many individuals seeking a permanent solution that is affordable.

Why dental bridges?

Dental bridges are a wonderful middle-of-the-road restoration for patients looking for a treatment option that meets their needs without breaking the bank. It utilizes a false tooth called a pontic fused to dental crowns on each side. These crowns are bonded over adjacent teeth to provide support for the bridge. Patients are educated on how to brush and floss to avoid problems such as periodontal disease and cavities, which can still affect the gums and the teeth underneath the bridge. Oral hygiene is essential in ensuring the longevity of this restoration. A dental bridge can last many years with proper care.
