Living with missing teeth can be quite a hassle. Not only can missing teeth leave you feeling concerned about the appearance of your smile but it can also leave you frustrated and feeling discomfort when it comes to eating, chewing, biting down, or even speaking like you used to. Any gaps in your smile will also put a significant amount of strain on your bite, potentially harming your jaw and causing discomfort. Here at Suluki Dental Associates, our Burlington family dentists can help you find a solution, including fixed and removable bridges.
Dental bridges are among one of the more common dental restoration methods, especially for patients who are not missing many teeth. These devices can help to literally fill the gap between your remaining teeth, using these remaining, healthy teeth as anchors for your new artificial teeth. By filling the gap left behind by missing teeth, dental bridges can restore your smile and restore full function to your bite, relieving stress and making eating much easier. If you are missing teeth, simply schedule an appointment with one of our dentist in Burlington in order to determine what method of tooth replacement will work best for you. First, they will thoroughly examine your mouth. First they will establish your oral health baseline to determine whether any additional work needs to be completed before moving forward, such as treating a cavity or gingivitis. They will take note of which teeth you have missing in order to determine which method will work best for you. Fixed dental bridges may provide more support if you are missing teeth that require more leverage while chewing or biting. Removable dental bridges may be better for other teeth and can be removed for cleaning and sleeping in comfort.
No matter which method is recommended for you, your replacement teeth are made right here at Suluki Dental Associates and are made to match your remaining teeth to create a seamless and complete smile. Visit our Burlington family dentists today for a consultation if you want to find out whether fixed or removable dental bridges are the right solution for you.
