What You Need to Know About Dental Bridges
If you have missing teeth, it’s important to talk to your dentist about how to resolve the problem. If you don’t, other surrounding teeth can shift out of place in an effort to fill the gap where the missing teeth once were. This shifting can negatively impact your bite. It can even change the shape of your face over time.
Dr. Hoffman may recommend dental bridges to his patients who are missing teeth. There are different types of dental bridges available, but the most common type consists of one or more porcelain crowns mounted on a metal frame. The crown(s) fill in the gap where your normal teeth used to be, and the metal frame fits over surrounding teeth to hold the bridge in place. Some bridges are “fixed,” or not removable by the patient, while others can be removed for cleaning or other purposes. Dr. Hoffman can recommend which type of bridge is best for you.
Although dental bridges are very strong, they will probably need to be repaired or replaced after several years of normal wear and tear.
