There is a very popular quote which says “smile while you still have teeth” however it becomes necessary at times to work on the dental care because age, eating habits, health etc. are some factors that have the tendency to affect your teeth. Today, we will be talking about the idea of having dental bridges in order to ensure that the next time you visit Emergency Dentist Preston you must be informed about all the positive and negative aspects associated with them.

Dental bridges are the filling of replacement teeth at the gap between two teeth by placing the crowns. Some of the quick advantages of choosing dental bridges include the one-time visits to the doctors in case the patient has already gone through extraction or have naturally lost the teeth. Moreover, it does not require any grafting of bone to improve the strength of the bone structure and it is also much affordable as compared to dental implants when you have more than one or two to get replaced.
However, it is equally important to understand the negative points of choosing dental bridges before making any visit to a dentist. The very first disadvantage of having dental bridges is the damage to the structure of the tooth as the dental bridges are placed on the two adjacent teeth. Moreover, there is no replacement of the roots during dental bridges placement which may cause decrease strength of bones and gums that may further cause the need to go for expensive and longer treatment. Also, the total life of dental bridges is just 10-15 years which means you have to go for a replacement. In such circumstances, implants are considered as a better option for a longer run.
