Having missing teeth is common in a lot of people nowadays but you don’t have to live with it. The gaps caused by the missing teeth can cause your remaining teeth to drift out of position and will expose it to decay and gum diseases but with the advances of cosmetic dentistry, you can now opt for dental bridges to restore your smile without having to cover your mouth.
Made from the same materials as dental crowns, dental bridges can be customized and attached on the remaining healthy teeth on the sides of the gap to fill in the missing teeth. Dental practice requires an examination on the health of your teeth and gums. If you are qualified for dental bridges, your dentist will give you a local anesthetic to prepare your teeth to support the bridge. Dental practice requires too that broken or decayed teeth will have to be repaired first before they can be used to support the dental bridges.
You will be asked to bite into a putty-like material to create an impression of your teeth. This will be used by a skilled lab technician to fashion your teeth. You may be fitted with a temporary bridge while your permanent dental bridge is being fabricated to protect your teeth and gums from damage but as soon as your bridges are ready, the cosmetic dentistry procedure can be completed and your bridge will be fitted and cemented.
Dental bridges may cost from £1,000 to £3,000 per tooth but the price varies based on different factors such as if there is a need for additional cosmetic dentistry procedures to be done in one or two of your adjoining teeth like root canals or fillings to support the dental bridges, the location of your dentist, the coverage provided by your dental insurance, the material used in your bridge, and the preparation of teeth involved in the bridge procedure. If you take good care of your teeth and maintain dental hygiene, your dental bridges may last for 10 years or more.
