Extrait

A dental bridge is designed to replace teeth that are missing due to infections that have led to extractions or damages that have occurred to the teeth.

They can be used to replace one tooth or several. The bridge is often cemented in place so that it functions and has the strength of natural teeth.

A bridge can improve the appearance of the mouth so that there aren't any gaps between teeth.

It can also help with the alignment of the rest of the teeth as some of them might shift if gaps are left in place.

The bite can also be corrected with a bridge since there will be a full set of teeth in the mouth.

There are a few signs that you might need a bridge.

Your dentist can take x-rays to look at the structure of the jaw, remaining teeth and the overall condition of the mouth.

If he sees that a bridge is necessary or beneficial, then a mold will be taken of the mouth in order to create the appliance.

If you tend to visit the dentist, you might find that there are cavities that could have been prevented.

If cavities become too large, they can lead to infections in the teeth.
