Costa Rica Dental Bridges

For anyone needing dental bridge work, it is important to find accurate information about the procedure and dental bridge care. Dental bridges are an appliance a dentist uses to replace one or more missing teeth from the mouth. They are usually cemented into place so that they don’t become dislodged or fall out. If you have one or more missing teeth, you can contact your dentist to find out which Costa Rica dental bridge type is the best for you to have your smile back. There are different types of dental bridges: the traditional, the resin bonded bridge and the cantilever bridge. The traditional dental bridge type is a false tooth, known in medical terms as a “pontic tooth” that is held together by two crowns on the adjoining teeth. The crowns are caps that cover the tooth on either side, similar in shape and size to the originals. Then the three parts: the pontic tooth with a crown on either end are cemented to the teeth surrounding the gap. The resin bonded or “Maryland” bridges consists of false teeth being fused together with metal bands and then cemented to the adjoining teeth on the back. This is most common when the missing teeth are located in the front of the mouth. The Cantilever bridges are used when there is only one tooth at either side of the missing tooth.

Although there are options for removable bridges, permanent bridge work is recommended since it looks and feels better and usually lasts longer than temporary dental bridges. Many prefer the removable type since they are the cheaper dental bridge work option, but wear and tear on the adjacent teeth and the shorter lifespan of these temporary bridges make the fixed bridge a better choice in the long run. Fixed Costa Rica dental bridges have several advantages: they last longer, can achieve esthetic results since there is no need of clasps or metal bands to show: the crowns placed on the adjacent teeth look natural. Dental bridges help to balance the bite and increases chewing efficiency by replacing missing teeth, and because they are permanent they cannot be taken out by the patient. The procedure to get a bridge includes the preparation of adjacent teeth to prepare them to retain the fixed bridge, then a metallic overlay is used to anchor the new tooth to the adjoining ones, and finally a ceramic veneer is placed on the bridge in such a way that the metal is not exposed and all you’ll see is your new bright and complete smile. Dentavac uses different materials for Costa Rica dental bridges: non precious metals and porcelain, semi precious metal and porcelain, precious metal (white gold) and porcelain, precious metal (yellow gold) and porcelain and precious metal with porcelain facing and metal occlusion. You can also inquire about removable dental bridges, their cost and material usage.

When you need to get dental bridge work or implants, one of the main concerns besides cost is the aesthetic value of dental bridges. Depending on your specific case, you may need a full denture bridge. The full denture bridge is an appliance that replaces all natural teeth with the advantage of maintaining and even recreating the lip and cheek support. With full support of lips and cheeks you’ll have the chance to obtain a more youthful appearance in comparison to the sunken in cheeks that accompany the lack of teeth, aging your face. Another advantage is the clarity of speech: you’ll be able to speak a lot more clearly with the complete bridge than without it. Another dental bridge work option you may need to take is what is called an overdenture: a removable bridge completely covering the teeth which is attached to the remaining tooth roots. Partial dentures and immediate dentures come in handy when you need to replace some of the natural teeth in the first case, or when you need to have all your teeth removed and are waiting for the full permanent denture to be made. The immediate denture gives you the possibility of not having to be seen without teeth while your permanent choice is getting built.
