Dental Crowns and Bridge Lower Plenty
At Majestic Smiles, we offer a broad spectrum of dental services to help you improve your oral health. There are several options available to replace missing teeth, one of which are dental bridges. This restorative device looks like 3-4 crowns that have been fused together. The crowns on the ends attach to your existing healthy teeth, suspending the crowns in the middle into the gap where the teeth are missing
How Dental Bridges Restore Your Smile
Good candidates must have healthy teeth that can support the bridge. If the teeth on the sides of the gap have been affected by severe decay or gum disease, they may not be stable enough to receive a bridge. We’ll be happy to evaluate you and make our best recommendations.
If you’ve considered a partial denture supported by dental implants to replace teeth, a bridge might be a suitable option. A dental bridge can be placed on implants, replacing three or four teeth at a time. For more details, consult our dentist in Lower Plenty VIC.
The Process of Getting a Dental Crown or Bridge
If you’d like to look into getting a bridge, two appointments are needed after we’ve decided to proceed. First, the teeth that the bridge will attach onto are prepared and impressions or scans will be taken that will be used to create the device. The models are sent to a laboratory, and your bridge is individually handcrafted by skilled technicians. Within a couple of weeks, the completed bridge is sent back to our practice. In certain cases crowns can be made on same day using our cerec machine.
You’ll return for a subsequent visit for the crown or bridge to be bonded permanently in place. If you are putting a crown or bridge on dental implants, more appointments may be required to allow for the healing time that is needed for implant placement.
Making Your Bridge Last
It’s essential that you clean well around your bridge, as plaque and food particles can collect under it. A floss threader will clean these tough-to-reach spots. The entire area around the bridge can be effectively cleaned with a water flosser.
