Implant Bridge Candolim

Dental bridges are false teeth, which are anchored onto neighbouring teeth in order to replace one or more missing teeth. The false tooth is known as a pontic and is fused in between two crowns that serve as anchors by attaching to the teeth on each side of the false tooth, thereby bridging them together. There are three main types of dental bridges: Traditional fixed bridge- This is the most commonly used type of bridge and consists of a pontic fused between two porcelain crowns that are anchored on neighbouring teeth or implants. The pontic is usually made of either porcelain fused to metal or ceramics. These are fixed and cannot be removed. Resin-bonded bridges or Maryland-bonded bridges- These are chosen when the gap to be filled is in between the front teeth, or when the teeth on either side of the missing tooth are strong and healthy without large fillings. The false tooth is made of plastic and is fused to metal bands that are bonded to the adjacent teeth using resin that is hidden from view. Cantilever bridges -These are opted for in areas such as the front teeth that are susceptible to lower stress. Cantilever bridges are used when there are teeth present on only one side of the space, where the false tooth is anchored to one or more adjacent teeth on one side.

An Implant Bridge is very much like a conventional Full Coverage Bridge except the support is actually over implants rather than natural teeth. The implants themselves act as man-made roots. A great advantage is that this is self-supporting - unlike a tooth-supported bridge that puts a heavier load on the remaining teeth. Implants are a terrific choice for missing teeth. The benefits of fixing missing teeth using dentures and bridges include: - Prevents existing teeth from drifting into surrounding space of the missing teeth; - Teeth out of position can damage tissues in the mouth; - The difficulty of thorough cleaning between crooked teeth runs the risk of tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease that can lead to the loss of additional teeth; - Improves out your smile; - Helps to properly chew food; - May improve speech; - Prevent a sagging face by providing support for lips and cheeks.

Each. A dental implant is a man-made replacement for natural teeth which allows the person to return to fixed teeth. Dental implants fuse with the jawbone to form a secure foundation for tooth replacement.There are two basic types of implants available at our clinic:- Conventional Implants :done in two phases over 2 months;- Immediate Implants : done in one phase also known as one day or same day implants.The categories of dental implants will be selected by the doctor depending on your specific needs and general dental condition. You would require an x-ray and/or CT scan to evaluate the amount of bone remaining, models of your mouth to determine space available and a thorough examination to decide which type of implant can help you the most.
