If you are missing teeth, Dr. Jason Pellegrino at Pellegrino Cosmetic and Family Dentistry offers a variety of tooth replacement options. In this post, however, we are going to explain why dental bridges may be the right choice for you. Dental bridges literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. They can be supported in any of three ways: by natural teeth, by dental implants, and by a combination of teeth and implants.
There are three different types of dental bridges: traditional, cantilever and Maryland bonded bridges. The materials that make up the dental bridges vary from gold, metal, alloys, or porcelain to ensure that they are strong and durable. Getting a bridge requires, at least, two visits, but often more. After Dr. Pellegrino prepares your teeth and covers them with temporary crowns during the first visit, your bridge will be constructed and placed during later visits. The bridge itself might take some getting used to, but in the end, you will have a brand new reconstructed and healthy smile.
If you think you may benefit from a dental bridge, please give us a call. To learn more about the services we provide at our practice, visit www.allentowndentist.com for more information.
