Understanding This Option
Dental crown bridges are a type of tooth restoration option. This option is used when there is more than one missing tooth. A bridge can be designed to hold multiple crowns in order to replace several missing teeth. This is a great option when a patient has several teeth which are still healthy and does not wish to have their teeth removed for dentures.
The bridge is made of metal and will fit comfortably into the mouth. The crowns are made of ceramic and are attached to the bridge.
How Long Will A Bridge Last?
If a bridge is created out of quality materials and is designed well, you can expect crowns & bridges in Troy, MI to last anywhere from 10-30 years. The actual life span of the bridge and crown, however, will be dependent on your own dental hygiene. Just as with natural teeth, dental restoration options work better and last longer when patients take good care of their dental and oral hygiene. Brushing and flossing daily will help the bridge and crown last longer and will also help ensure that your mouth stays healthy longer.
If the bridge and crown become damaged, you will need to visit your dentist as soon as possible. You will need to have the device repaired or replaced quickly. Wearing a bridge that is damaged could injure your mouth.
