\"Cosmetic<\/a>Many people wonder how a cosmetic dentist<\/a> can help restore their smile after an accident or having a tooth fall out. \u00a0Millions of people are in accidents every year and whether it\u2019s a car wreck or workplace injury, teeth can become damaged fairly easily. \u00a0When this happens the dentist will try to save the tooth by using restorative dental procedures. \u00a0If that doesn\u2019t work the tooth may need to be replaced.<\/p>\n

The majority of the adult population will lose a tooth at some point in their life. This can be due to an accident, poor oral hygiene, a lack of dental care, or simply old age. \u00a0When a tooth falls out or is removed there are options for replacing it and a dental bridge is one of them. \u00a0This is a non-surgical solution for replacing missing teeth and one that Dr. Miranda provides on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

A dental bridge is a solution implemented by a cosmetic dentist<\/strong> when a patient does not want to have surgery or wear dentures. \u00a0While dentures have been around for hundreds of years, they don\u2019t feel like a natural tooth and must be taken out to be cleaned and soaked on a daily basis. \u00a0This creates a level of inconvenience that people with an active lifestyle may not want. Fortunately, there are both surgical and non-surgical solutions that are permanent.<\/p>\n

If you are considering using a dental bridge to replace a tooth, here is how it is done:<\/p>\n

Evaluation and consultation.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Dr. Miranda will examine your existing teeth and gums to determine if the two teeth surrounding the missing tooth are strong enough to support a dental bridge. \u00a0This is an important step because a bridge cannot stand on its own.<\/p>\n

A mold is made of your mouth<\/strong>. \u00a0In order to have the bridge created a mold needs to be taken of your mouth so that the dental lab has the right dimensions for the space.<\/p>\n

The bridge is created in a lab.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0A dental lab will create the dental bridge. \u00a0It is comprised of three main parts: two crowns and the new synthetic tooth. \u00a0All three will be made to match your existing teeth perfectly in both size and shape.<\/p>\n

Installation<\/strong>. \u00a0Our cosmetic dentist<\/em>, Dr. Miranda will install the bridge by placing a dental crown on the two teeth next to the missing one. \u00a0The bridge and synthetic tooth are attached to the crowns as part of the total solution. The crowns hold the new tooth in place.<\/p>\n

The result of this procedure is a natural looking and durable replacement tooth. \u00a0Instead of wearing dentures that need to come out daily, a dental bridge stays in place permanently. \u00a0The main requirement is that the structure of the surrounding teeth needs to be intact. \u00a0If not, they will be unable to support the bridge long-term. \u00a0When this is the case dental implants are a more viable solution.<\/p>\n
