What Are Porcelain Bridges?
While it's common to perceive a missing tooth as merely a cosmetic concern, the truth is that the void it creates can have far-reaching implications for oral health. Under the guidance of Dr. David Umansky, the compassionate dental team at Aesthetic Dentistry Associates employs modern restoration techniques, including all porcelain dental bridges, to not only rejuvenate the aesthetics and functionality of your smile but also to mitigate potential dental complications down the road.
Dental bridges serve as a vital tool in our arsenal, particularly for individuals who may not be suitable candidates for dental implants, providing them with a beautiful, durable, nonsurgical alternative. In Atascocita, TX, where each smile is cherished, dental bridges emerge as a highly effective solution for those missing one or more teeth in a specific area of their smile.
By seamlessly filling the space left by missing teeth, porcelain dental bridges not only enhance the appearance of your smile but also promote proper dental alignment, chewing function, and overall oral health. Trust in our expertise and experience as we craft personalized solutions to restore both your confidence and your smile's vitality.
How Do Porcelain Bridges Work?
Customized porcelain bridges are designed to seamlessly blend beauty with functionality. Crafted with precision, these restorations typically feature one or more porcelain teeth supported by porcelain crowns, meticulously tailored to fit your unique smile.
Under the expert guidance of Dr. David Umansky, the journey to your perfect smile begins with meticulous preparation. Once your supporting teeth are prepared, digital images and dental impressions are captured, laying the foundation for your bespoke bridge creation. At Aesthetic Dentistry Associates, we understand that each smile is as unique as its owner, which is why we offer a variety of porcelain bridge options tailored to meet your individual needs.
While your custom bridge is expertly crafted, a temporary bridge or restoration may be employed to maintain functionality and aesthetics. Rest assured, your comfort is our priority. For those with dental fears, anxieties, or a sensitive gag reflex, alternative anesthesia or sedation methods can be explored to provide the most comfortable experience possible throughout the procedure.
Upon completion, your restoration is meticulously fitted and bonded into place. Porcelain dental bridges are extremely versatile restorations and can be used with both natural teeth and dental implants alike.
What Are the Benefits of Porcelain Bridges?
The impact of a missing tooth goes far beyond oral health, profoundly affecting individuals' self-esteem. A porcelain dental bridge not only enhances the appearance of your smile but also offers several advantages for dental health. Untreated gaps between teeth can lead to several issues, such as:
- Gum disease: Gaps can lead to a higher risk of developing gum disease.
- Dental Occlusion: Spaces may lead to misaligned teeth, impacting how they come together when you close your mouth.
- Reduced Bite Strength: A missing tooth can diminish the force of one's bite.
- Shifting of Adjacent Teeth: Teeth around to the gap may begin to move over time.
- Facial Structure Changes: Gaps can cause changes in the structure of the face.
- Difficulty Eating: Losing a tooth can make it difficult to chew properly.
Dental bridges do more than just improve the aesthetic of your smile; they improve chewing and speaking abilities while reducing the risk of further dental problems.
Aesthetic Dentistry Associates Reviews
I really like this dental office. The staff is always friendly and helpful. It's a beautiful facility, it's clean, and they seem to always fit you in when needed. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because they lack consistency as far as dentists that work there. I have had 3 different dentists the last three years. For whatever reason, they are always hiring new dentists to replace the ones that leave. All of them have been friendly and good dentists, I can't complain there, but I just wish I could build a good doctor/patient rapport with a single dentist, and not have to meet a new one every year.
The staff were great. Very thorough and no wait time. Great experience!
Highly recommend this place to everyone. Always so nice and friendly
Professional. Took extra time I needed and did not rush me.
Dr Bollman took good care of me.... No pain at any point having my first ever tooth pulled at age 53...
