Ο Dentist deems it necessary to install a bridge to improve the aesthetics Display and the speech  of the patient, when one or more teeth are missing in the anterior region of the mouth. It is achieved directly improving chewing, which is negatively affected when teeth are missing and the protection of neighbouring teeth and competitors of the missing tooth. When a tooth is lost, it is possible that the adjacent teeth will twist or slide into the gap that has been created. Similarly, competing teeth (i.e. the opposing teeth of the upper or lower jaw) may slide downward or rise upward.

All this can be avoided by placing a bridge. The uniform force distribution exerted on the patient's mouth during chewing. In a complete dental barrier, vertical and horizontal forces are exerted on the teeth during chewing, and these forces are distributed evenly over all the teeth. If one or more teeth are missing, this balance is disturbed, resulting in greater forces being applied to the remaining teeth. The construction of a bridge can restore the balance of forces on the teeth during chewing to normal levels. In the empty space of the missing teeth, food is embedded, which the patient has difficulty removing. As food is therefore piled up, there is a risk that the adjacent teeth will develop an inflammation of the gums, known as gingivitis, which if not treated in time can develop into periodontitis.

For all these reasons, you should visit our office immediately in case of loss of one or more teeth!
