Even when you practice the best dental hygiene, you can end up losing teeth. In fact, approximately 69% of Americans 35-44 years old have lost at least one permanent tooth, and your risk of tooth loss only increases with age.
Further, ignoring lost or missing teeth increases your chances of additional problems, impacting everything from your appearance and self-confidence to your overall dental health.
At Arya Dental in Fullerton, California, our talented team specializes in restorative dental treatments that repair or replace damaged or missing teeth, including dental crowns, implants, and bridges. Here are just a few of the many reasons to consider a dental bridge if you have one or more missing teeth.
They provide customizable solutions
Several types of dental bridges can eliminate gaps in your teeth. They each work by anchoring one or more artificial teeth (pontics) in between abutment teeth, those teeth that surround the gap.
Then, when your permanent bridge comes back from our in-house lab, you return to our office. At that appointment, we remove your temporary bridge, clean your mouth, and bond your permanent restoration in place.
This simple and streamlined approach can make bridges an ideal option, especially if you have health concerns preventing you from undergoing oral surgery or a more involved tooth replacement option, like dental implants.
Don’t wait to replace your missing teeth. Contact our Fullerton, California, office today by calling 714-646-9546 to schedule a consultation.
