At Dental Art Concepts PLLC, we eliminate the stress of replacing lost teeth by offering quality restorative dental treatments. If you’re 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.
Here’s what you should know about this treatment.
A Time-Saving, Cost-Effective Restorative Treatment
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 you’re a good candidate for a bridge. If so, we’ll prepare your abutment teeth to support your bridge. Afterward, we’ll take impressions of your teeth to send to a lab where your bridge will be fabricated. Once it’s ready, we’ll 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.
Advantages of Choosing a Bridge to Restore Your Smile
If you’re wondering if a dental bridge is a good choice for you, consider the following benefits:
- This non-invasive treatment can be completed in two or three dental visits
- Bridges are easy to place and have a quicker recovery time than implants
- A fixed bridge will fill the gaps left by missing teeth to keep the remaining teeth from shifting
- Porcelain bridges are strong and enduring for biting and chewing and have a beautiful, natural-looking appearance
- A dental bridge is a cost-effective restorative dental treatment
