Missing Teeth Can Negatively Affect Your Long-Term Oral Health

Missing teeth can significantly compromise your long-term oral health. The absence of teeth disrupts the alignment of the remaining ones, potentially causing them to drift out of position, leading to further dental complications. Additionally, missing teeth can lead to an accumulation of food particles and bacteria, increasing your risk of gum disease, tooth decay, and tooth loss. It’s highly recommended to speak with Houston Dental today to discuss a solution for replacing missing teeth – dental crowns and bridges may be the right restoration option for you.

The Benefits of Restoring Your Smile With Dental Crowns or Bridges

Restored Functionality

Missing teeth can cause issues with speaking and chewing properly. When dental crowns or bridges are used to replace those teeth, your ability to chew comfortably again will improve, as well as your speech.

Prevents Teeth From Shifting

Gaps left by missing teeth can cause teeth on either side to shift. This can cause issues with your bite, your gums, your jawbone, and more. Artificial teeth can prevent shifting from happening.

Improved Aesthetics

Many patients report feeling better about the look of their teeth, as well as better dental health overall, after replacing a missing tooth or teeth with dental crowns or bridges, since they look and feel completely natural.

Who is This Treatment Plan For?

Dental crowns are ideal for patients who:

Have a cracked, chipped, or worn-down tooth
Need to protect a tooth after a root canal
Have a dental implant(s)
Want to improve the appearance of a misshapen or discoloured tooth

Dental bridges are recommended for patients who:

Are missing one or more teeth
Want to prevent the shifting of adjacent teeth
Are looking for a fixed alternative to removable dentures
Are committed to maintaining their oral hygiene to support their bridge

How These Prosthetic Devices Work and Are Made

Material Selection

Crowns and bridges are usually made from porcelain, ceramic, metal alloys, or a combination of materials. There are also various types of bridges – our dentist will determine the best one for you.

Preparation of Teeth

If the bridge is supported by crowns, the adjacent teeth are prepared by removing a portion of enamel to accommodate the crowns. Or, our dentist will remove any damaged or decayed parts of your teeth and then shape them to fit the crown.

Impressions

Using impressions or digital scans of your teeth, the crown is custom-designed to fit precisely and match the shape and shade of your surrounding teeth. It will be made at a dental laboratory and then sent back to our dental office.

Temporary Crown or Bridge

While your permanent tooth replacement option is being made, you’ll receive a temporary one so your abutment teeth are not exposed.

Final Placement

Once the permanent tooth replacement option is ready, it is securely bonded to the prepared tooth with dental cement. If you’re receiving a dental bridge, it will be permanently secured to anchoring teeth that have been prepared.
