MULTIPLE TOOTH REPLACEMENT FOR MULTIPLE MISSING TEETH

 BENEFITS OF FIXED BRIDGES ON IMPLANTS 

If three missing teeth at the far end of your dental cavity need replacement then a fixed bridge attached to an implant at Cosmetic dentistry, Nassau County, NY is your best choice. The advantages of these are:

•          Unlike conventional dentures these provide a high level of functionality or stability.
•          Dental implants replacing several missing teeth provide you a unique stability and strength allowing you to eat as you please.
•          These implants do not affect the jaw bone and hence preserve your facial appearance.
•          These implants are the only fixed solution in case of several missing teeth.
•          This is a safe and long lasting option.

TREATMENT:

After evaluating the status of your dental health, 4 or 5 visits to the clinic are needed to get the fixed bridge permanently integrated with the bone. There is some bruising and swelling in the soft tissues and gums normally, which is eased by using some pain killers. You can resume normal routine the next day after the treatment.

COURSE OF TREATMENT:

According to your specific condition, your dentist at cosmetic dentistry, Nassau County, NY will decide the best suited course of treatment. There are several options available but the commonest follows these steps:

A.    Preparation - When you have two or more missing teeth at the extreme end of your jaw the only solution possible is a fixed bridge. It contains a set of teeth attached firmly on dental implants.

B.    Installing the implant-Only a single session is required for fixing the implant. Often the dentists at this stage may put a temporary bridge to make performing normal activities immediately easy for you.

C.    Fixing the bridge- These implants need little time to bond completely with your jaw bone, then the permanent bridge is attached. This may take 1 to 2 months after the implant is fixed. However, the duration may vary depending on aesthetical demand and the affected teeth.

D.   Results- The newly installed bridge easily bears all the pressure equal to your old healthy teeth. You experience a secure and stable solution that lets you eat as you wish.

ALTERNATIVES TO FIXED BRIDGES

The other option is removable partial dentures, but these are very complicated and also uncomfortable to use. Their functionality is also quite less than fixed bridges. They are not very pretty to look at as they are made up of metal and plastic components. The installation is simple but the presence of metal parts makes it difficult to fabricate.
