To care for your dental bridge, Dr. Singh recommends using a floss threader and a small brush to prevent debris from accumulating at the gumline. Another great option is a water flosser (WaterPik) that uses a stream of water to clean the areas that are hard to reach. Please brush and floss your teeth regularly and keep your regular dental appointments every 6 months.
How to care for a dental bridge
What is a dental bridge?
Another effective restorative option for patients missing a few teeth is a dental bridge. Dental bridges are made of prosthetic teeth set between crowns. The crowns cap the healthy teeth, allowing the restorations to fill the gap in your smile.
Our talented staff will ensure the dental bridge blends seamlessly with your remaining teeth, creating a functional, natural-looking smile. Replacing missing teeth is vital to preventing bite and chewing problems and jaw pain.
Implant-Supported Bridges
At iSmile Family Dentistry, we can also secure your dental bridge with a few dental implants—typically four to six. A dental implant is a root replacement and anchors a restorative tooth, bridge, or denture to your jaw.
Implant-supported bridges provide a durable, long-term solution for replacing multiple teeth. By attaching the bridge to dental implants, the bone structure and density is preserved, which provides both functional and aesthetic benefits for patients looking to restore the health and appearance of their smile.
