What are dental bridges?

Individual teeth play an important role in your ability to speak, chew, and maintain proper alignment of nearby teeth; and when you’re missing a tooth all of these abilities can go awry. Fortunately there are a few options at Advanced Dental Group in Edgewater, New Jersey for replacing a missing tooth including dental bridges.

A dental bridge is a device that bridges the gap when a tooth (or teeth) are missing. There are two types of bridges; fixed, and removable. Fixed bridges are bonded into place and can only be removed by a dental professional. Removable bridges on the other hand can be taken out by whoever, whenever. A fixed bridge done at Advanced Dental Group in Edgewater, New Jersey will offer you more stability than a removable one.

The entire treatment will take two to three simple appointments to complete. And afterwards you will need to brush and floss your bridge along with your natural teeth at normal intervals.

What are the benefits of dental bridges?

Losing a tooth can severely impact the support your lips and cheek need, causing them to sink or sag. Bridges by Advanced Dental Group in Edgewater, New Jersey can help with that.
