Fremont Dental Bridges

Description : Replacing missing teeth with a conventional bridge may seem like an acceptable path, one that is proven and affordable. In this process, an appliance is custom made based on a model of existing dentition around the missing tooth. The two teeth adjacent to the gap are prepared by reducing them. This step is necessary whether teeth are completely healthy, have existing dental work, or are in need of repair. In our minds, and in research, removing healthy tooth structure poses significant risk to the look and overall health of the smile. If we can avoid it, we do. The placement of a dental bridge fills the gap of a missing tooth. Beneath the area, however, bone loss still occurs due to the absence of a root. This bone loss can affect the teeth that anchor the bridge appliance because the recession of bone will expand into this area. Teeth that are crowned are also susceptible to cavities, which are difficult to detect beneath the crown. These small areas of damage can eventually lead to infection in and around the root canal, leading to the need for root canal therapy or extraction. Read More : http://www.bayareaimplantdentistry.com
