Debunking 5 Misconceptions About Dental Bridges: Our Guide

Read Now
 
Picturedental bridges
As people grow up, everyone has their own fair share of tooth loss. There will come a time when you’ll start losing teeth during your childhood years or even as an adult, whether it’s caused by dental trauma, tooth decay, or periodontitis. Not only will a tooth loss affect your oral function, but it can also impact your overall oral health. So, when confronted with this problem, getting dental bridges can be your best option.
For the uninitiated, dental bridges are a form of restorative dentistry with materials usually made of gold, porcelain, or alloys. This dental work involves using a false tooth crown rested on the abutment to fill a missing tooth gap. However, the problem is that some misconceptions are circulating about the use of dental bridges, and they have discouraged people from getting the necessary treatment. 
In this article, we will debunk five common misconceptions about dental bridges so that you will be more well-informed:

Myth 1: They look unnatural and unsightly
Some individuals hesitate to have false teeth thinking they look unnatural. However, dental bridges are one of the best options for your teeth replacement as they actually appear natural! With the advancement of technology, they resemble your natural teeth in terms of shapes, sizes, and even colours. As such, people won’t even notice that you have bridges installed in your mouth.

Myth 2: They easily and quickly fall out
Some people tend to think that dental bridges aren’t sturdy and stable enough and that they will easily and quickly fall out when they speak, laugh, and eat. Yet, the opposite is actually true! Your dentist will ensure that they are held tightly in your mouth and set securely in place. Sure, they may become loose over time, but it’s quick and easy for your dentist to adjust and fix them. With that, you have nothing to worry about your false teeth slipping out.

Myth 3: They make it hard for you to eat
Another misconception that many people have is that it can be quite a challenge to eat with dental bridges. But the truth is that it is a lot harder to eat when you have missing teeth. In fact, the primary reason for wearing them is to improve your overall oral function, and one of which is your capability to eat. Sure, you may find it hard to eat soon after getting them installed for the first time. However, you’ll eventually get used to it, and eating and speaking will become natural!

Myth 4: They are the same with dentures
Both bridges and dentures are dental options used to address missing teeth. Yet, keep in mind that they aren’t the same. The main difference lies in the fact that bridges are rather permanent while dentures are removable. This means that the latter can be taken out when you’ll brush your teeth and clean them.

Myth 5: They are expensive dental solutions
In the past, dental bridges used to be a costly option as they were deemed cosmetic. But today, they are considered a form of restorative dentistry meant to improve your oral function. Because of this, they have become affordable compared to before and even insurance now partially covers these as they are no longer viewed as purely cosmetic improvements!

Conclusion
At this point, we’ve debunked five common myths about dental bridges. The truth is, they are natural-looking, secured tightly, comfortable to be worn even when eating, aren’t the same with dentures, and very much affordable. With all these valuable pieces of information, you have all the right reasons to get dental bridges to boost your oral function and overall oral health!

If you suffer a dental emergency, you can expect doctors and staff at Emergency Dental Clinics to help you as soon as possible. We are equipped to provide treatment for most general dental emergencies including loose and fractured teeth, toothaches, abscesses and infections among many other conditions. Our dentists are also available to be contacted for follow up care. Please note, Emergency Dental Clinics have a wide range of operating hours and availability but we are not a 24/7 service provider. When you experience a true dental emergency, please contact us immediately. If your emergency cannot wait until normal operating hours, please contact your local hospital.
​

Dental emergencies can occur at any time, such as participating in contact sports like hockey or football. If you’ve suffered a broken tooth or have had a tooth knocked out, it’s important to contact a dentist immediately. If your tooth has been knocked out, try to gently insert it into the socket and hold it there until you reach the dentist’s office. If you are unable to do so, place the tooth in a glass of milk  or water and bring it with you to a dentist or dental clinic as quickly as possible.

By focusing on Emergencies, we provide an extremely high level of emergency service. Helping you in those moments you just need relief! In a lot of cases people tend to let a little tooth ache fester until it becomes a major problem. Why live with something you don’t have to. Our expert Emergency Care Dentists give you relief immediately with the appropriate dental procedures.
