Missing Teeth? Here’s A Solution You May Want To Consider.
It can be difficult to live with teeth that are less than ideal. You may be living with regular discomfort or find everyday tasks difficult, such as chewing your food and speaking properly. This may happen if you or a loved one has experienced severe decay or recent tooth loss. We are here to help you find a treatment to restore your oral health and improve your life. One treatment we may suggest for severe decay or a missing tooth is a porcelain fixed bridge. Read on to learn more about this treatment and the many benefits it provides to patients like you.
What is a Porcelain Fixed Bridge?
After reviewing the state of your teeth and oral health, we may recommend a porcelain fixed bridge to restore and improve your teeth. This treatment is useful if you are missing one or multiple teeth. A porcelain fixed bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth designed to replicate your natural teeth in size and color. The bridge is anchored to the adjacent where it is being placed. Just as the name suggests, the artificial teeth “bridge” the gap from one side to the other. A fixed bridge is not removable and, if cared for properly, can last for many years.
Why is a Porcelain Fixed Bridge a Great Solution?
A porcelain fixed bridge is a wonderful solution if you have missing or severely decayed teeth because it provides a natural appearance by blending in with the surrounding teeth while also restoring function. It is a great alternative to other treatments, such as partial dentures. Other benefits of a fixed bridge include:
- Permanent solution, lasting up to 10 years
- Durable
- Prevents teeth from shifting
- Restores ability to chew
- Improves speech issues caused by missing teeth
- Boosts self-confidence
