Using Dental Bridges to Replace Teeth
The dental professionals at Magnolia will prescribe a dental bridge when one or more teeth are missing and there are healthy teeth on both sides of the open space. Bridges can be made from three types of material – solid gold for reliable long wear, porcelain fused to a gold base for strength and beauty, and high-strength metal-free porcelain for optimum cosmetic results. With proper care, your new bridge will increase your overall health and instill confidence for years to come. The average lifespan of a permanent dental bridge is about 10 years.

Are Dental Bridges Comfortable?
Yes! After the seamless installation of your dental bridge and a brief adjustment period, you should be back to smiling and chewing like a pro. However, you should adopt a slightly more mindful dental hygiene routine. You will want to floss each day and use a proxybrush to remove all excess debris between teeth. This will greatly reduce your chances of additional dental decay.
