Dental Bridges Defined

Dental Bridges These are suggested for patients who have

encountered most cases of tooth loss.

Dental Bridges

It is an artificial replacement for the loss tooth

characterized by a crown used to replace the

area.

3 Types of

Dental Bridges

Traditional Fixed Bridge

This type of dental bridge can’t simply be

done by extracting the decayed tooth in your

mouth and replace it as you wished to.

Traditional Fixed Bridge

This process is characterized by placing the

pontic (false tooth) over the gaps left by the

extracted tooth and held in place by porcelain

veneers.

Resin Bonded Bridge

This type of treatment is recommended for

patients who simply lost their front teeth.

Resin Bonded Bridge

This is less expensive than the other

treatments but it requires the abutment

teeth to be strong and healthy enough and

shouldn’t have large fillings as well.

Cantilever Bridges

These are also suggested for the missing

front tooth/teeth just like the resin-bonded

type but their main difference is the price.

Cantilever Bridges

This procedure is characterized by

connecting the pontic to one side with the

use of your remaining teeth beside the gap

left by the missing tooth/teeth.

Bring Back the Smile To Your Face with

DENTAL IMPLANTS

Teeth can be knocked out through

traumatic situations, unwise eating habits,

incorrect cleaning procedures, and neglect

can cause decay.

Gum diseases can also be

a reason why we lose them.

Replacing missing teeth may not be a problem because there are many

ways to do it.

After considering dentures and dental crowns,

which sometimes give a “false” look and feel,

dental implants offer

the best option.

It imitates the real tooth by going through the

gums, and screwed right in to the bone. This

means it is to stay there permanently.

Implants are structurally the

same as the natural one, and just as strong and

durable.

It makes one chew food more efficiently.

It will also help you avoid adverse bond

conditions and misaligned bites.

And the most rewarding part of having

implants is to be able to flash that

radiant smile again.

How To Recover After A

ROOT CANAL PROCEDURE

During the root canal procedure, avoid using your

treated teeth until the filling

has been placed and the whole process is finished.

Eat only with one side of your mouth.

After the procedure, refrain from

eating and drinking for a few hours.

Analgesics like ibuprofen and naproxen should

be taken right away or even an ice pack will

suffice the pain.

The pain should not prevent you from doing your

normal activities. Otherwise…

consult your dentist.

If the pain still persist after a week or two, the

wisest thing to do is to visit or call your dentist as this may indicate a

problem with the filling.

Aside from painkillers, your dentist may also

recommend anti-bacterial treatment to

avoid future tooth problems.

Proper care and maintenance

of oral hygiene is still best in order to prevent tooth decay and other tooth related problems.
