What are dental bridges? Do you need these?

If you think that it's okay to ignore missing teeth, you have to start changing this belief. Missing teeth do not only affect a person's physical attributes, but can also cause serious health problems if not addressed properly.

What problems will I encounter if I ignore missing teeth?

  • Difficulty eating
  • Neighboring teeth may start drifting
  • Infection and/or gum disease
  • Lips, cheeks, and the chin may collapse
More than the above mentioned effects of missing teeth, these can affect how we talk and may even cause a person's confidence level to go down.

To avoid all of these problems, clinics like Morgan Dental Care in Portland, Maine offer putting dental bridges on patients with gaps between their teeth caused by missing teeth. Your cosmetic dentist will either place removable bridges or fixed bridges. Removable bridges can basically be removed for cleaning while fixed bridges can only be removed by your dentist. The most common materials used for bridges are ceramic, porcelain, and gold - discuss which you prefer and which will suit you best with your dentist.
