Tooth loss is a fairly common occurrence among Americans. One report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that 7% of Americans have lost at least one permanent tooth to decay by age 17; this percentage increases to 69% for individuals who are 35 to 44. The report adds that by age 50, most Americans have lost an average of 12 teeth.
While missing teeth can cause cosmetic concerns, they may also result in oral health complications if not attended to. Bear Creek Dental Center notes that mouth gaps can result in changes in tooth position, jaw alignment, and facial structure. Additionally, missing teeth can affect speech and hinder chewing, the latter of which can lead to digestive problems.
Partial or full dentures are often used to fill gaps in the mouth, but Bear Creek Dental Center says that dental bridges are also an effective option for rectifying any cosmetic and oral health issues caused by missing teeth. Although there are several types of bridges, the practice recommends porcelain fixed bridges for patients who prefer dental appliances with a more natural appearance. These can be used to fill both smaller spaces and gaps created by more than one missing tooth.
At Bear Creek Dental Center, the process typically requires two or more visits. First, the dentist will begin the procedure by preparing the patient’s surrounding teeth to anchor the crown. They will then create a mold and send it to a dental lab, and the patient will receive a temporary crown to wear while the permanent bridge is being fabricated. Once it’s complete, the dentist will adjust the bridge and cement it into the patient’s mouth.
Porcelain fixed bridges will last for many years, but Bear Creek Dental Center notes that they may still experience wear and tear. To extend the lifespan of the bridges, the office recommends that patients maintain proper oral hygiene and schedule regular check-ups. Patients will also receive additional care tips from their dentist once treatment has concluded.
