Reputed Dentist in Pembroke Pines Offering Dental Bridges Treatment
As you age, maintaining perfectly healthy teeth can be a challenge. Teeth tend to weaken as you age. This is no different than other parts of your body, including your skin, hair, and bones. A weakening of the teeth can result in tooth loss. If you consume food and drink that is harsh on teeth or if you fail to maintain proper oral hygiene, you will also find yourself facing dental issues. If you have lost teeth for any reason, dental bridges treatment can provide you with many benefits in Pembroke Pines, FL.
Dr. Milton Ruiz and the team at Pines Dental Associates would love to share some of the benefits offered by dental bridges.
Restore Your Smile
One of the most significant benefits offered by dental bridges is the restoration of your smile. Nobody looks at their smile as healthy if teeth are missing. If you are suffering from gaps in your smile (including large gaps where multiple teeth are missing), dental bridge treatment can help restore your smile to a beautiful and natural-looking state. Dental bridges are exactly as they sound; a bridge for your mouth. A bridge consists of an artificial tooth (or teeth). This pontic (artificial tooth) fills the gap in your smile. Bridges are affixed to abutment teeth on either side of the gap using crowns.
Prevents Further Trouble
Those who lose teeth are more prone to further tooth loss. Teeth can also shift into the gaps created by tooth loss. There are several dental problems associated with tooth loss when gaps are not filled. Choosing to fill the gap with a bridge will reduce the likelihood of further dental problems.
Improved Chewing and Speech
Chewing and speech problems are quite common for those with gaps in their smile. When teeth are missing, the pressure is dispersed unevenly when chewing. Dental bridges allow for more even dispersal of pressure when chewing. There are many individuals who also suffer from improper speech when they have gaps in their smile. Dental bridges will help with both problems.
