Dental Bridge , Treatment -Execudent

Comments: http://goo.gl/t118M A bridge is made up of two crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap -- these two anchoring teeth are called false tooth/teeth or-abutment teeth. This false teeth/abutment is called poetics and can be made from gold, porcelain alloys, or a combination of these materials. Dental bridges are supported by natural teeth or implants. A bridge allows the Conduit Dentist to replace lost teeth without the use of a denture or dental implant. What Are the Benefits of Dental Bridges? Bridges can: • Restore your ability to properly chew and speak • Your smile is maintained • Distribute the forces in your bite properly by replacing missing teeth To gain 'retention' as Execudent Otters haw Dentist call it, a post is placed inside the tooth which forms a peg on top of the tooth and acts as a seat for the crown. As a lot of tooth tissue may need to be removed your Conduit Dentist will normally give you a local anesthetic (injection) before starting treatment. Normally a bridge requires the adjacent teeth to be prepared to accept the abutments of the bridge. This is destructive to these teeth especially if they have small or no fillings in them. A more conservative approach is a 'Maryland bridge' (also called a resin-bonded bridge or a Maryland bridge) is made of plastic teeth and gums supported by a metal framework. Which uses wings that attach to the adjacent teeth? The disadvantage of these systems is that the life expectancy of the bridge is only 4-5 years when compared to the conventional type of 8 years. http://www.execudent.co.uk/treatments/restorative-dentistry/bridges/
