Bridges offer several benefits. The fixed bridge remains in position while you are awake and asleep. You do not need to remove it to clean it or store it when you sleep. This may be more convenient for you than other restoration options, as well as it can help you feel self-confident both day and night. Bridges offer excellent aesthetics, as they can be used to replace the lost tooth and improve the appearance of the teeth near the gap. They are made of translucent porcelain, which can be made to look identical to the natural dental enamel and can resist stains. Overall, bridges can be placed in a few dental visits and can last many years.
Once your bridge is in position, you will need to make sure to clean it properly. Brush it with your other teeth thoroughly twice a week, but still make sure to brush at least twice a day, also. Floss daily, and use a floss threader or interdental cleaner to clean above and around the bridge. Call us to learn more or to schedule your appointment with our expert in dental bridges in Hawthorne.
