Charleston SC dentist discusses ways to replace missing teeth with dental bridges
Mouth Carolina Dentistry, PA is pleased to offer many different options for each type of treatment designed to improve the appearance of your smile and restore function.
Broadly speaking, a direct restoration lives up to its name because the dental material is directly applied in your mouth to rebuild the tooth. This material is pliable, and may be shaped and hardened to look, feel, and behave like your natural tooth.
For an indirect restoration, a model of your mouth is made. Technicians use this model to design your bridge. Dr. Andrew Greenberg will check the fit and appearance of the restoration. If it fits well and looks natural, Dr. Greenberg will securely place it. You can then go about enjoying your improved smile.
Dental bridges available from your Charleston SC dentist, Mouth Carolina Dentistry, PA, are a proven way to replace a missing tooth.
While there are many variations of the dental bridge based on each patient’s needs, a straightforward 3-unit bridge is made up of a pontic fused between two dental crowns. The crowns are cemented over the prepared teeth adjacent to the gap from the missing tooth. The unit effectively bridges the gap restoring beauty and function to the smile.
The pontic may also be fashioned from a composite resin. This dental material is made from a combination of plastic and glass colored to match your teeth. Dr. Greenberg may apply, mold, harden, and securely place the composite directly in your mouth to fill the gap.
Since Dr. Greenberg has a unique combination of technical aptitude and artistic skill, you can achieve highly aesthetic results with a direct restoration at Mouth Carolina Dentistry, PA. This approach to the dental bridge depends heavily on each dentist’s respective technique.
Dr. Greenberg will examine your mouth to determine the best approach. Schedule an appointment at Mouth Carolina Dentistry, PA‘s Charleston SC office to discuss these dental bridges options. Call (843)751 4262.
