Resolve Multiple Tooth Loss Issues Quickly with a Fixed Dental Bridge

Tooth loss produces gaps in your mouth that make life difficult. When teeth go missing, simple activities like talking, eating, and smiling are compromised. At Kelley Family Dental Center, we offer practical solutions to tooth loss issues to restore normalcy to your life. Dr. Jonathan Kelley and the team recommend a fixed dental bridge to replace multiple consecutive missing teeth. The dental bridge procedure can be completed quickly and provides a viable alternative to dental implants, offering comparable results for restoring your smile.

Dental Bridge Procedure and Benefits 

Multiple tooth loss will create empty spaces in your smile that pose a risk to your oral health. Over time, nearby teeth may come loose and shift to fill these spaces, causing alignment issues. Food particles and debris can accumulate in the gaps created by lost teeth, which can cause gum disease, decay, and plaque accumulation. That’s why it’s essential to replace lost teeth quickly! Dental bridges are artificial teeth created to fill the gap left by lost natural teeth. They are supported by dental crowns affixed to both sides of the gap in healthy, natural teeth and can replace one to four consecutively lost teeth. Dr. Kelley will prepare these teeth to receive crowns by reshaping their structure. Impressions are then taken of these teeth to have crowns custom-made for your treatment.

Unlike partial dentures that can be removed, a fixed dental bridge is non-removable. Once in place, a fixed dental bridge blends seamlessly with your smile.  A fixed dental bridge will complete your smile beautifully and keep it that way long-term! Here’s what you stand to gain from dental bridge treatment:

• A Whole and Healthy Smile

With a fixed bridge, you can confidently smile as the gaps in your smile vanish. You’ll have no reason to feel self-conscious about your teeth. If anything, you’ll want to show off your whole and healthy grin at every opportunity.

• More Power for Biting and Chewing

A bridge allows you to enjoy a variety of delicious foods by restoring your biting and chewing power. Porcelain bridges are strong and durable and capable of withstanding the demands of biting, chewing, and grinding food. A bridge provides the complete set of teeth necessary for full functionality.

• Improved Speech

Multiple tooth loss can impact your speech. You may experience difficulty pronouncing words or speaking with a lisp. Restoring lost teeth with a bridge will restore your clarity of speech.

• Support for Remaining Teeth

A dental bridge provides valuable support for the remaining teeth, keeping them strong, secure, and stable. Adjacent teeth stay aligned and secure. Your bridge and natural teeth work together as a team to keep your smile strong for years.
