  1. A dental bridge is a prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth. It is typically made up of two crowns that are placed on either side of the gap and a false tooth in the middle. The false tooth is held in place by the crowns, which are attached to the adjacent teeth. A dental bridge can help restore your smile and improve your ability to chew and speak. What to Expect During a Dental Bridge Procedure The procedure for getting a dental bridge typically takes two visits. During the first visit, your dentist will prepare the adjacent teeth by removing a small amount of enamel to make room for the crowns. Impressions of your teeth will be taken and sent to a lab to create the bridge. During the second visit, your dentist will fit and cement the bridge in place. Benefits of Getting a Dental Bridge A dental bridge can help restore your smile and improve your ability to chew and speak. It can also help prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of place and reduce the risk of gum disease. How to Care for Your Dental Bridge It is important to take good care of your dental bridge to ensure it lasts. Brush and floss your teeth twice a day and visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings. Avoid eating hard or sticky foods that could damage the bridge.

  2. What to Know About Dental Extractions A dental extraction is a procedure to remove a tooth from the mouth. It is typically done when a tooth is severely damaged or decayed and cannot be saved. What to Expect During a Dental Extraction The procedure for a dental extraction typically takes one visit. Your dentist will numb the area around the tooth and use special tools to remove it. After the tooth is removed, your dentist may place a gauze pad over the area to help stop the bleeding. Benefits of Getting a Dental Extraction Getting a dental extraction can help relieve pain and discomfort caused by a damaged or decayed tooth. It can also help prevent further damage to the surrounding teeth and gums. How to Care for Your Teeth after a Dental Extraction It is important to take good care of your teeth after a dental extraction. Brush and floss your teeth twice a day and visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings. Avoid eating hard or sticky foods that could damage the area where the tooth was removed.

  3.
