Dental Bridges for Patients in Hilliard, Ohio
Dr. Dana Walters helps Hilliard, Ohio patients enhance their smiles through dental bridges. A dental bridge is an artificial tooth that is created for one or more missing teeth. Dental bridges can help a person to restore their smile, speaking and chewing capabilities and confidence levels.
This special type of dental appliances are supported by a person’s natural teeth or are supported by dental implants. There are typically two types of bridges - a removable bridge and a fixed bridged. Dental bridges are made out of alloy, gold, porcelain or a combination of all three.
When receiving a bridge, a person will have to have at least two visits in the dentist’s office to make sure that the bridge is sculpted and fit correctly. The cost of dental bridges will depend on which type of bridge is used. After a person has received their dental bridge, it is important for them to take appropriate oral hygiene measures to ensure a healthy smile and to safeguard the longevity of the dental bridge. With proper dental care, bridges can last up to 15 years.
