The Basics of Dental Bridges

Posted .

Are you familiar with the basics of dental bridges? If not, you are not alone. Dental bridges are a unique form of dental restorations that can be used to restore your smile and oral health. Thousands of people suffer from lost teeth, which is why the need for a dental bridge restoration is so great. Here at Patient-First Dental Care in Conroe, Texas, Dr. Fletcher and his team are happy to offer dental bridges as an ideal way to restore a missing tooth.

In a nutshell, a dental bridge, also known as a fixed partial denture, restores missing teeth by inserting the bridge over the gap between the teeth and closing the gap. Dental bridges are very different from dentures because while dentures can be taken out each night, a dental bridge can only be taken off by a dentist. That is why keeping your teeth and bridge brushed regularly is vital to maintaining your oral health care.

As you can see, there are benefits to choosing a dental bridge. If you have any questions about your oral health or think a dental bridge might be ideal for you, please call us today at 936-856-9969 to set up an appointment. Our friendly and professional dental team is prepared to help give your smile the restoration you need and assist you with oral health.
