Many people suffer from the loss of multiple teeth. Missing multiple teeth can seriously affect your oral and overall health by preventing you from being able to eat, causing deterioration of bone density in the jaw and skull, or by affecting the shape of your face.
If you’ve lost multiple teeth at once or have gaps in your smile from missing teeth, Dr. Todd Goldstein can fix that through the application of dental bridges.
What Are Dental Bridges?
Similar to dental crowns or dentures, dental bridges are fixed dental restorations that replace one or more missing teeth. Dental bridges can either be supported by a dental implant in the jaw, or they can be secured to crowns on either side of the gap.
Dr. Goldstein can help you learn more about your dental bridge options here in Manhattan if that is the best tooth restoration option for you.
Why Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are a great restorative dental option for patients wanting something that will replace their teeth, but will look and function like a real tooth.
Bridges fill in gaps that make eating food difficult or impossible—thus enabling you to enjoy meals without placing undue strain on your remaining teeth. If the loss of teeth has disabled your ability to speak properly, a dental bridge can restore your speech functionality.
Your smile is made up of individual teeth that are readily able to shift around if given the opportunity. Gaps caused by missing teeth can open up too much free space for your remaining teeth, letting them move from their initial positions. This can damage your remaining teeth and cause more problems down the road in terms of your bite.
Dental bridges can help keep all your teeth where they should be and protect your oral health. They are also maintained and cared for just like regular teeth through brushing and flossing.
Dental Bridges to Restore Your Teeth
Trust Dr. Goldstein to provide you with quality dental bridges that will restore your smile, preserve your facial structure, and prevent your teeth from moving around and altering your bite.
A dental bridge can give you the confidence that comes from being able to eat and communicate with ease, and smile without shame!
