Crowns and Bridges: Dental Work

If you are self-conscious about cracked, broken, decayed, or worn teeth we can bring back your healthy, natural, looking smile with dental crowns and bridges. A dental bridge is a prosthetic device used to fill a gap created by one or more missing teeth. It is mounted onto existing teeth or implants and cemented into shape, bridging the gap to create a full and natural-looking smile. A dental bridge is designed to fit snugly and function as a healthy tooth protecting your tooth from further damage and preserve the jaw’s correct natural alignment. Once a bridge is placed you can care for it as you do your natural teeth. Brushing twice a day and flossing will protect your crowns and bridges well into the future.

A bridge is an appliance permanently fixed in the mouth to replace missing teeth. It uses remaining teeth to support the new artificial tooth or teeth. A dental bridge looks and feels like your own teeth whilst restoring function and aesthetics. They are usually composed of an artificial tooth or teeth to replace missing teeth supported by two crowns on either side. For our patients with several missing teeth and who are unsuitable for implants, this treatment provides a viable fixed alternative. Crowns and bridges are made from a variety of materials such as porcelain or zirconia. The type of material used for your crown and bridge depends on your personal situation. We will advise you of the best approach for your individual needs. We will use the most suitable material for your specific situation and always use high-quality materials for your needs.

                                          Taking Care Of Your Oral Health In Self Isolation

During self-isolation, make sure you are well prepared to care for your oral health. The pandemic is disrupting every area of our lives are currently, including physical activity. We can no longer simply go for a walk, visit the gym or play team sports, while the temptation is to sit at home and spend more time on the couch. However, physical inactivity is a major risk factor for developing a 

serious disease

Toothbrush Hygiene

Keep safe by making sure nobody uses each other’s toothbrushes and that they are stored well away from everybody else’s toothbrush. The damp environment of a toothbrush is ideal for spreading viruses. Use separate toothpaste as well.

Continue with Your Normal Oral Care Routine

Sticking to every day routines is important while self-isolating and particularly your dental maintenance routine. Make sure you continue to brush at least twice a day and floss once-a-day. If you 

wish, use a mouthwash for 30 seconds as this can slightly reduce the risk of spreading viruses.

Watch Your Diet

It’s a time when it’s tempting to indulge in snacks and Netflix, but try to limit your consumption of sugary or acidic foods. Instead, concentrate on eating foods that will boost your immune systems like 

vitamin-rich and nutrient-dense fruits and veggies.

Stay Active

Make sure you have some form of physical activity every day. If you can’t get outside, there are plenty of fun exercise routines online.

Drink plenty of Water

It is easy to become dehydrated and especially if you are fighting an infection. Some medications can reduce saliva flow too, so be sure to drink plenty of plain water.
