Fixed Dental Bridges at Confi Dental Clinic

 


Missing a tooth can affect more than your smile. It may make chewing difficult and allow neighboring teeth to shift into the empty space. A fixed dental bridge is one option for replacing a missing tooth or several adjacent missing teeth. At Confi Dental Clinic in Dickinson, TX, we provide personalized dental evaluations to determine whether a fixed bridge is suitable for your smile.

A traditional fixed bridge generally uses crowns placed on the teeth next to the missing space to support an artificial replacement tooth, known as a pontic. Unlike a removable partial denture, a fixed bridge is secured in place and is designed to remain in the mouth during normal daily activities. The appropriate bridge design depends on the location of the missing tooth and the condition of the surrounding teeth.

Before recommending a bridge, the dentist examines the teeth and gums supporting the restoration. Healthy supporting teeth and good oral hygiene are important for the long-term success of a fixed bridge. Your dentist can also discuss other tooth-replacement options, such as dental implants, and help you understand the advantages and limitations of each approach.

Once a fixed bridge is placed, proper oral hygiene remains essential. Brushing twice daily and cleaning around and underneath the bridge can help control plaque and protect the supporting teeth and gums. Regular dental examinations allow your dentist to monitor the bridge and the surrounding oral structures.

If you have one or more missing teeth and are looking for a stable tooth-replacement option, schedule a consultation at Confi Dental Clinic to discuss whether a fixed dental bridge is right for you.
