Bridges Treatment
Relevant information about Bridges Treatment.
- What does the treatment consist on
A bridge is used for those patients who have lost teeth and want to replace them. This procedure is based on a dental restoration which is joined with adjacent teeth or permanent implants. Bridges are made of a material called composite resin; there are two ways of implementing a bridge, the first one consists in fabricating the bridge directly in the mouth of the patient; the other technique is the most common and it is named the indirect method of restoration.
- Which problem does the treatment solve
The treatment offers a solution for those patients who have lost one or more teeth and need to be replaced and restored. It solves many problems that can be a consequence of missing teeth; some of them are for instance, having a disorder in the bite of the patient, shifting of the teeth, being victim of the risk of contracting periodontal disease or having speech impediments which can decline in self-esteem troubles.
- How is the treatment performed
In the first visit to the doctor he will determine if you are in need of a bridge or dental implant. He will probably evaluate the health of your gums and the tooth in general. If he notices that the support of your teeth is weak you will be certainly a candidate for a bridge. The bridge of the patient is fabricated taking into account the impression model that the dentistry has already taken. While your original bridge is being fabricated, the professional will give you a replacement so your denture is not damaged during the restoration of the fundamental bridge. Finally you will go under the treatment, where the final bridge is put on your denture and cemented with a specific material.
- Surgery length: The treatment is not long, according to the fact that it is not a complex intervention. The doctor will probably use local anesthesia in order to sedate all the area of the mouth. This brings fewer problems to those patients who sometimes present fears about going under general anesthesia. It is not a complicated treatment, and the results that it brings will are worth to be proven.
- How is the post treatment process
The post treatment process is not complicated. The patient will be able to resume her/his important activities the following day after the treatment. There is no need to stay in the hospital. In some cases where the patient feels pain or feels uncomfortable with the new bridge, the dentistry can offer the possibility of having a medication for a few days that will calm this strange feeling. The post treatment process is in its majority, a responsibility of the patient, because he/she is in charge of taking care of the health and cleanness of her/his mouth by using hygiene products.
After the dental treatment it is normal that the tooth could feel more sensitivity when the patient eats or drinks food that is under high or low temperatures. It is important for the finishing of the treatment to follow all the indications that the doctor gives, one of this (and probably the most important) is to adjust your routine to a complete cleanness of your mouth every day. It is significant to use a correct and prescript tooth paste and also a mouthwash. By following this kind of rules, the patient will certainly avoid any pain caused by the treatment, and also (and what implies a great importance), avoiding the risk of an infection. It has been proved that having a complete hygiene is the only way for preventing the buildup of bacteria formed from food acids.
- What does the treatment do
There are three different types of dental bridges which will adjust according to the needs of each patient. The first one is called “traditional fixed bridge”; this technique consists on putting a false tooth which is putted with two crowns, made of porcelain that will fill in the position of the missing tooth. This kind of bridge cannot be removed from your mouth; this is the main difference between this type of method and the removable partial dentures. The other type of dental bridge is known as “resin bonded bridges”, it is used primarily for the front tooth of the patient, this type of treatment is less expensive and is used when the patient do not present problems in the abutment of his/her tooth; one of the advantages of using resin bonded bridges is that the adjacent tooth of the patient will not need too much preparation compared to the other kind of bridges. The last type of bridge has been named “Cantilever bridges”; this procedure consists on anchoring the false teeth to one side, to approach to the natural teeth in the denture of the patient. After choosing the appropriate bridge for each necessity and patient, he/she will be able to enjoy a new denture that will approach to her/his idea of a perfect denture, in order to achieve a beautiful smile. This treatment does not only solve problems related to the health of the mouth of the patient, it is also useful for those people who have the problem of not having teeth and feel that this brings troubles to their lives. In other words, this dental treatment will give a solution in many fields: aesthetic and health.
- What does the treatment not do
This kind of treatment has nothing to do with the transformation of natural tooth or with the gums of the patient. It is only oriented to the replace of missing tooth, that can bring several problems for the patient especially related to infections and apparition of injuries that cause too much pain. The gums are treated in other types of surgeries, which assure the transformation of them according to the diverse needs of the patient, some of them need an aesthetic change, and others are in search of solving a health problem.
