  2. Understanding Dental Bridges for Seniors Dental Bridges for Seniors are a popular restorative option for replacing missing teeth. These bridges help improve chewing ability, maintain facial structure, and enhance overall oral health. As we age, bone loss, gum recession, and existing dental work must be considered when planning treatment.

  3. Key Factors to Consider • Bone density: Seniors may have reduced bone support, requiring careful evaluation. • Gum health: Periodontal health must be stabilised before bridge placement. • Medication side effects: Dry mouth or delayed healing from medications can impact outcomes. • Manual dexterity: Seniors with limited mobility may need simpler cleaning routines.

  4. Types of Bridges and Maintenance • Fixed bridges: Offer long-term stability but require healthy adjacent teeth. • Removable bridges: Easier to clean and adjust, ideal for those with health concerns. • Proper cleaning: Brushing, flossing, and using bridge flossers is essential. • Regular checkups: Help identify early signs of wear or complications.
