Dental Bridge or Crown
A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by spanning the space where the teeth are missing. Here’s a detailed look at the dental bridge treatment process. The My Teeth Dental in Webstar is conveniently located near to the Lake Campus Hospital Complex and NASA Johnson Space center is the best dental office near you for any type of Dental problem .
Tooth Preparation
Abutment Teeth Preparation: The teeth on either side of the gap (abutment teeth) are prepared. This involves removing a portion of the enamel to make space for the crowns that will hold the bridge in place. Impressions: Impressions of your teeth are taken to create a precise model for the bridge, pontic (false tooth), and crowns.
Temporary Bridge
Placement: A temporary bridge is placed to protect the exposed teeth and gums while the permanent bridge is being made. This helps you chew and speak normally in the interim.
Fabrication of the Bridge
Removal of Temporary Bridge: The temporary bridge is removed, and the permanent bridge is checked for fit and comfort. Adjustments: Necessary adjustments are made to ensure the bridge fits perfectly and does not affect your bite. Cementation: Once the fit is confirmed, the permanent bridge is cemented onto the abutment teeth.
Fitting the Permanent Bridge
Removal of Temporary Bridge: The temporary bridge is removed, and the permanent bridge is checked for fit and comfort. Adjustments: Necessary adjustments are made to ensure the bridge fits perfectly and does not affect your bite. Cementation: Once the fit is confirmed, the permanent bridge is cemented onto the abutment teeth.
Follow-up Visits
Check-ups: The dentist schedules follow-up visits to ensure the bridge is properly fitted and that you are not experiencing any discomfort or complications.
Post-Treatment Care
Oral Hygiene: Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and use an interdental brush or water flosser to clean under the bridge. Diet: Avoid very hard or sticky foods that might damage the bridge. Regular Dental Visits: Continue with regular dental check-ups and cleanings to ensure the bridge remains in good condition and to monitor the health of the surrounding teeth and gums.
