  1. Understanding the Different Types of Dental Bridges

  2. When you don’t need or want removable dentures or dental implants, a dental bridge makes a good alternative. This device hides the gap left by your missing teeth while improving your oral health and providing you with an attractive smile at the same time. One of the most important benefits of dental bridges is that they prevent your remaining teeth from shifting into the open spots. When this happens, it could have a significant effect on the overall alignment of your teeth.

  3. The process of receiving new dental bridges requires a minimum of two visits to Dr. Ala Din. During the first appointment, he examines your gums and jaw to make sure they are strong enough to support the new dental bridge and the replacement teeth attached to it. He also needs to check the condition of the teeth that will support the dental bridge. At your second appointment, Dr. Din removes a small amount of tooth enamel so that the bridge will remain firmly attached to the supporting teeth. After securing it in place, he attaches the replacement teeth to it in order to conceal your missing teeth.

  4. Dental Bridge TypesAfter your initial examination, Dr. Din will let you know which of these types of bridges is most appropriate for your situation:Cantilever Bridge: Since a Cantilever bridge can only attach to one other tooth, it’s most appropriate to conceal missing back teeth. Dr. Din may also use this type if only one tooth surrounding the missing teeth is healthy enough to support a bridge.

  5. Fixed Bridge: This type is the most durable and widely used. It has a dental crown at each end with the replacement teeth in the middle of them. When placing a fixed bridge, Dr. Din typically installs a dental crown over the teeth that will support it.Resin-Bonded Bridge: For this procedure, Dr. Din places metal bands behind the supporting teeth rather than dental crowns. It’s a good alternative for front teeth since these are not large enough for a crown and Dr. Din hides the metal bands behind the supporting teeth.

  6.
