The Truth About Bonding And Bridges

A bridge is one of the few options that you have when deciding how to deal with a missing tooth or teeth

. Replacing these missing teeth is necessary in order to maintain the proper mouth functions. Tooth loss usually affect the way you eat, speak, and the alignment of other teeth in your mouth. Types of Bridges

A bridge, by definition, is a link or connection between two permanent structures. A dental bridge is very similar in that it attaches the restorative teeth (bridge) to the natural teeth on either side of the gap. This bridge acts as your new teeth, closing the gap and restoring your smile. Bridges are often constructed of gold or metal foundations with porcelain fused to the foundation. This makes sure that the bridge will support the proper functions of the mouth.

You can usually fix or remove bridges. A fixed bridge is bonded to the natural teeth, or abutments, and can not be removed by the patient. A removable bridge is often attached by metal and can be removed for cleaning purposes. We will determine which of these options is more appropriate for your specific situation. Procedure

The procedure begins with preparation of the natural teeth, or abutments. We will shape the abutment teeth so that the ends of the bridge will fit comfortably on each one. The next step is to take an impression of the area. The impression is sent to the lab where your new restoration is crafted. While this new tooth is created, we will provide you with a temporary restoration. Temporary restorations will resemble your natural teeth so that you can continue with your daily life without worrying about a missing or unattractive tooth.

During your second visit to the office, we will proceed with the placement of your final restoration. This bridge will be fitted comfortably into the mouth. We will make every effort to ensure that the new bridge feels exactly like your natural teeth. The final step in the process is to cement the bridge into your mouth, leaving you with a beautifully restored smile.

Bonding

A bonding is a composite resin that is used as an alternative to amalgams and veneers. This is one of the best cosmetic options for those patients who do not want the look of silver in their mouths and do not want the expense of veneers. Bondings can be used on teeth that are decayed, cracked, or stained. Procedure

The bonding procedure is usually completed in one visit. The first step is to remove the decayed or unsightly portion of the tooth. The tooth is then etched with a liquid or gel after that bonding agent is applied. This will allow the composite resin to be placed in the prepared tooth. The resin is then trimmed and polished, leaving you with a beautifully sculpted, natural-looking restoration.

Bonding Durability

Although composite resins are cosmetically pleasing and easily placed, their durability is not as strong as other types of restorations. These resins typically last from 4-7 years before they begin to chip and wear away. When this happens, the restoration will need to be replaced.
