Dental bridges can last five to 15 years and even longer with good oral hygiene.

During the initial consultation, Dr. Liel Allon at DentAllon Dentistry will examine your teeth to determine if a dental bridge is the most suitable option for you. This involves a thorough examination of your oral health, including X-rays to assess the health of your teeth and jaw. If a dental bridge is deemed appropriate, a treatment plan will be tailored to your specific needs.
The second step involves the preparation of the abutment teeth. This process requires recontouring these teeth by removing a portion of enamel to allow room for a crown to be placed over them. Impressions of your teeth are then taken by our Nassau Bay dentist, which will serve as a model from which the dental bridge, pontic, and crowns will be made.
The final step is the placement of the dental bridge. Once your dental bridge is ready, it will be checked and adjusted for the proper fit. Multiple visits may be necessary to check the fit of the metal framework and bite. This is critical for the bridge's success. Once all necessary adjustments are made, the dental bridge is cemented into place.
One of the key benefits of a dental bridge is that it can restore your smile by replacing missing teeth. This can significantly enhance your self-confidence and personal appearance.
Missing teeth can make eating and speaking a challenge. Dental bridges can help overcome these issues by effectively replacing the missing teeth, thus improving your ability to eat and speak comfortably.
Missing teeth can lead to facial sagging over time, altering your facial shape. A dental bridge fills in the gap, supporting the facial structure, and maintaining your face's natural shape.
The first dental bridges were made by the ancient Etruscans over 2,500 years ago.
Dental sedation has been around for centuries.
Sedation dentistry has so many uses outside of causing patients to feel relaxed. Sedation also reduces gag reflex sensitivity which makes treatments on the rear molars easier to perform. Those with low pain tolerance can also benefit from sedation, as it reduces pain sensitivity.
Patients with severe dental anxiety are likely to avoid dental appointments and neglect necessary treatments. Sedation makes it easier for patients and the dentist to prevent serious oral health problems by reducing stress and memory associated with dental procedures.
Sedation is useful for children because they are likely to be apprehensive or scared of going to the dentist. Young children are less cooperative and in more complex or long procedures, this can be an issue. Some kids have difficulty holding their mouth open or sitting still for long procedures and sedation helps improve all of these conditions.
