Risorius Dental Uses Bridges to Improve Morton Grove, IL Patient Smiles

Morton Grove, IL patients now have a solution for their missing, cracked or damaged teeth.  At Risorius Dental, there are many different smile restoration services available, including dental bridges.  Bridges (http://www.risoriusdental.com/bridges/) are one of the most effective ways to help a patient restore their smile and replace missing teeth.  They are custom created to match the natural look and feel of a patient’s smile, while also serving as protection against jaw misalignment, damage to surrounding teeth and periodontal disease.  When seeking a replacement for a missing tooth, it is important to understand what to expect and how a restoration can benefit your periodontal health—in addition to cosmetically improving your smile and restoring your confidence.

As the name suggests, dental bridges bridge the gap created by a missing tooth.  This is accomplished through neighboring crowns that are fitted over surrounding teeth as support.  In order for dental professionals to install a bridge, they must first contour the teeth on either side of the gap, prepping them to be covered by the supporting crowns.  Through the use of local anesthetic, patients feel comfortable during the prepping process.  The custom bridge itself is created from an impression of your teeth.  This impression is sent to a lab where the restoration is fabricated to suit the natural look your smile.   While patients wait for the prosthetic to be made, they are fitted with a temporary bridge that protects the teeth from any damage and enables them to continue their daily activities without apprehension or discomfort.  When the bridge is completed, it’s attached to the surrounding teeth, providing patients with a sturdy, solid tooth that is designed to last for many years.

While some adjustment time may be needed to get used to your new bridge, Risorius Dental recommends that their patients only eat soft foods for the first few days following their bridge placement, until they feel comfortable.  After patients have adjusted to their new bridge, they are left with a natural looking smile that boosts self-confidence and allows patients to return to their normal eating and oral care habits.

If you have questions about dental bridges or the other restorative options that are available at Risorius Dental, contact their office and find out if dental bridges are right for you.
