Blog:Dental Bridge, A Cost-Effective Restorative Dental Treatment
At Dental Art Concepts PLLC, we eliminate the stress of replacing lost teeth by offering quality restorative dental treatments. If youre missing several teeth in a row, your Staten Island, New York, dentist may recommend a dental bridge. Dental bridges have been used for years to replace multiple missing teeth and can complete your smile beautifully.
Implants and bridges are both effective in replacing lost teeth. The former, however, is more time-consuming and costly. In contrast, a dental bridge can be completed in just a few dental visits. Unlike implants, getting a bridge doesn't entail surgery, making it a more cost-effective treatment. Your bridge will be supported by two crowns placed on abutment teeth on either side of the bridge. A fixed dental bridge will give you greater stability for biting and chewing.
Dr. Matthew Scaffa will start by evaluating your teeth and oral health to see if youre a good candidate for a bridge. If so, well prepare your abutment teeth to support your bridge. Afterward, well take impressions of your teeth to send to a lab where your bridge will be fabricated. Once its ready, well secure your bridge in place to complete your treatment. At Dental Art Concepts PLLC, you work with an experienced dentist who does bridges to increase your chances of having a successful treatment.
