Understanding the Structural Support of Dental Bridges
Bridges, whether spanning waterways or in dental work, rely on similar principles for support. Sturdy stabilization on each end distributes the load effectively over time. In dental bridges, adjacent teeth anchor a replacement tooth crafted from resilient materials and securely affixed in place. While this setup often endures for many years, the supporting teeth may experience wear over time, potentially leading to further tooth loss in some cases.
The Superiority of Dental Implants in Alleviating Chewing Strain
In many instances, the inclusion of dental implants presents a superior option, alleviating strain on the chewing system. Strategically positioned within the bone gaps, these implants emulate natural tooth roots. They bear the burden that was once borne by natural teeth, thus preventing adjacent teeth from enduring excessive pressure. Sometimes, a bridge spanning between two solid titanium pieces can be constructed using just two implants.
Even when dealing with larger gaps, Dr. Boyd possesses the expertise to piece together the puzzle and adapt to any situation. Irrespective of the complexity of your treatment, the process follows a similar path to achieve a functional, radiant smile. For more information, feel free to contact us.
