Tooth loss is most often the result of a lack of oral hygiene habits and general upkeep. Those that do not brush and floss multiple times a day in addition to seeking out dental appointments at least once every six months will be at a very high risk of developing a buildup of plaque and tartar on their teeth. As these substances interact with all of the foods and beverages that are consumed, they will produce bacteria and acids that may eventually result in tooth loss. For those that have lost one or more teeth in a row, dental bridges remain one of the most effective options.

Bridges can either be removable or permanent, but each process beings with a thorough oral inspection. This is done in order to detect any major ailments that could affect the final results of the procedure. For removable dental bridges, measurements will be taken of the teeth and gums and then the abutment teeth and false teeth of the bridges will be made be a specialty manufacturer. These bridges are held in place through pressure, the contours of the mouth, and the abutment teeth that are cemented to the natural teeth. When used in conjunction with implants, bridges will be a much more permanent option for those that have lost teeth.
