Losing a tooth can take away a person’s confidence in the way they look, particularly when they smile. You can worry that the gap between teeth caused by tooth loss is attracting everyone’s attention while also giving them an unfavorable impression of you. If you wish you could regain your smile, and also your confidence in the way you look, know that the right prosthetic dental treatment can lead to exciting cosmetic improvements! Your Ankeny, IA dentist can arrange the restoration of your complete smile with a personalized dental bridge. With a bridge, we can permanently close your smile gap without the need for oral surgery. This treatment will offer functional improvements as well as cosmetic changes.
Tooth Loss Can Leave You Without Confidence In Your Smile
Even one missing tooth is enough to cause a serious problem for the way you look. A visible gap between teeth can make you look unhealthy, it can impact the way people generally perceive you, and it creates a glaring flaw that can hurt the overall quality of your appearance. When this problem affects you, there are also oral health issues that you have to worry about. That gap can also make it difficult for you to bite and chew properly, a problem that can lead to more oral health issues as well as jaw problems that can raise your risk for experiencing bruxism.
Arranging Treatment To Place A Custom Bridge
Before your dental bridge can be made, careful measurements are needed to make sure that the restoration you receive is the right shape and size to look natural and remain secure. With the right measurements taken, it is possible to craft a custom dental bridge that can give you back your smile. Bridges are permanently placed – a pair of dental crowns at each of its sides will be affixed to the teeth around your gap. This arrangement provides enough support to let you bite and chew without troubles!
You Can Also Have A Dental Implant-Held Restoration
A dental bridge is not your only option if you want to restore your complete smile. What we can also discuss is restorative dental work that includes a dental implant. The implant will be surgically set in your jawbone, where it will act to hold the prosthetic you receive in position. This can provide you with a secure hold that does not require dental work on surrounding teeth.
