Dental bridges in Atlanta may be an excellent solution for the gaps in your mouth. They are one or a row of artificial teeth covering exposed tooth gaps. There are four types.
A traditional, conventional, or fixed bridge is the most recognizable. It has artificial teeth in the center with dental crowns on the ends. The crowns bond to healthy teeth with cement. Implant-supported bridges do not depend on healthy teeth to bond; they need healthy gums and jawlines instead. Implant-supported bridges bond to two implants in the jaw. To do this, the patient must undergo jaw surgery to insert them. They must heal and bond to the bone before adding the crowns later.
A cantilever dental bridge uses one tooth to secure the bridge in place. Since that bonding tooth is on one side or in the middle, the bridge works better at the front of your mouth. There’s less stress there than the workhorse teeth on the side and back. If the gums and jawlines are healthier than the teeth, an option is to bond them through implants. Meanwhile, a Maryland bridge replaces dental crowns with wings. The wings bond to the back of healthy teeth with cement. They fit at the front of the mouth. The University of Maryland created the bridge design.
A dentist will examine your mouth, gums, and jaw for issues. The dentist will diagnose the issue, clean your mouth, and discuss your options. The dentist will also schedule regular checkups to monitor its progress. Contact Buckhead Dental Partners at buckheaddentalpartners.com to learn more about dental bridges in Atlanta, GA.
