Tooth loss can possibly lead to further tooth loss if not addressed as the other teeth are exposed to infection and even further movement once one has gone missing.
When looking to fill a gap you have many options but the one you will require rather depends exactly on where the tooth has been lost. A bridge is a brilliant replacement for lost teeth as you are still left with different options. If a tooth has gone between two others, a Maryland bridge is one of the more popular choices. It comes as a single tooth with two pontics which are cemeneted on to the back of the neighbouring teeth, This process causes no damage to your own healthy teeth.
Another option is a bridge that is a new tooth bonded to two crowns which are cemented onto the surrounding teeth. After a bridge is fitted it is crucial to maintain an excellent oral hygeine routine it is an acquired technique and takes a little bit of effort to get right at first and you will have to invest in the right tools such as a good toothbrush and interdental brushes, But get it right and a dental bridge will not only restore the look of your mouth, it will keep the health of your mouth up and running while it is in place!
