Austin Cosmetic Dentistry - Dentures and Bridges
Austin's Choice for Cosmetic Tooth Replacement
Bridges
A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth in order to stabilize the bite and prevent surrounding teeth from moving or shifting in the mouth. Adjacent teeth may become unstable and require removal, or the shape of the face may change if missing teeth are not replaced. The bridge is made of metal and porcelain, and is fixed to the natural teeth at each side of the gap, making it next to impossible to tell it apart from natural teeth.
What are the benefits?
- Bridges are healthy for teeth and gums, because they improve the way you bite, chew, and speak.
- Bridges are also very durable, and can last many years if cared for properly.
- Restore your beautiful smile! /Don’t let missing teeth diminish the beauty of your smile!
Dentures
If you are missing a significant amount of teeth or teeth surrounding the gap are not strong enough to support a bridge, then dentures are your next alternative. Dentures are removable, made of plastic, and replace missing teeth. They are tailored to fit your mouth, look natural, and not only improve the way you feel about yourself, but the way you bite, chew, and speak as well.
What are the benefits?
- Dentures protect your remaining teeth from wear and tear. Without dentures, your natural teeth will become unstable and may shift in the mouth, causing difficulties with your bite.
- Dentures enhance your appearance by supporting the lips and cheeks, which makes you look younger and allows you to maintain your natural face shape.
- Dentures can also be fitted immediately after tooth extractions, so that no one will be able to see you are missing a tooth“Stop feeling self-conscious—no one knows!”
