Here are some common questions that patients often have regarding dental bridges:

When Is A Dental Bridge Necessary?
Dental bridges, as well as other tooth replacement options, may be used when a patient is missing a tooth or experiencing severe tooth decay that is effecting the functionality or aesthetic appearance of their smile. Missing teeth are generally very negative for overall oral health, resulting in loss of jawbone, which can cause the mouth and facial structure to sink. Missing teeth should always be replaced as soon as possible, and a dental bridge is one highly reliable option that patients who are missing teeth have to restore their smile. 

How Will My Dental Bridge Stay In Place?
Bridges are held in place using the existing teeth, which are first shaved to remove some tooth material in order to best fit the dental bridge as to ensure comfort for the patient. Then, your bridges are made in a speciality lab before an appointment where out team fits the bridge into place on your natural teeth that have been shapen to hold this new appliance. Existing teeth provide a firm and reliable base for your bridge to rest, and regular dental visits can help to ensure that these bridges remain comfortable and effective at replacing missing teeth. 

What Is A Dental Bridge Made Of?
There are several different materials that may be used in dental bridge construction. Porcelain, gold, and other metals can be used in making dental bridges depending on each patient’s individual case and any customizations that must be made to meet their needs. Our team in Clinton Township only used the highest quality materials in bridge construction, ensuring the best results for our patients.

How Long Do Bridges Last, And How Do I Maintain It?
Dental bridges are best maintained the same way as natural teeth are maintained – a strong oral health regimen. All dental patients, whether you have a dental appliance or not, should brush twice daily as well as floss daily and use mouth washes regularly. Come in and see our team every six months as well for routine dental exams so that our team can monitor your bridgework.

Professional Teeth Whitening
Teeth can lose their whiteness and become dull-looking and discolored overtime due to aging, genetic factors, smoking, alcohol use, poor oral health, and even due to certain medications. Discoloration occurs as the enamel, the outer tooth layer, wears down over the years, which then exposes the tooth surface underneath, resulting in a “dull” appearance and discoloration. Our team in our Clinton Township office has years of experience in helping patients improve the shade of their teeth while removing years of tough stains and discoloration using advanced whitening methods that are safe, effective, and that last for years. Our team also offers economical whitening solutions to help as many patients benefit from professional whitening as possible. 

Is Whitening The Right Solution For Me?
Professional teeth whitening is a cosmetic solution that can benefit patients of all ages. It should be noted, however, that some patients are more qualified for whitening than others. For example, patients who require any genera, dentistry or restorative dentistry work, such as extractions, root canals, should always have these general oral health concerns addresses before undergoing whitening or any other cosmetic procedures. This, in fact, allows patients to gain a healthier smile through cosmetic dentistry, given that patients should possess optimal oral health before undergoing any cosmetic treatments. 

A Safe And Reliable Cosmetic Treatment
Both research and patient testimonials will tell you that professional teeth whitening is a safe and effective cosmetic dentistry solution. However, it is recommended that children who have not yet reached their teenage years should not undergoing whitening, as it can negatively impact the development of their tooth enamel. For adult patients, however, whitening is perfectly safe and effective cosmetic solution that can last for years when paired with strong oral health.

Cosmetic tooth bonding is a reliable cosmetic dentistry solution that can help to correct the aesthetic appearance of the teeth by correcting cracks, chips, and other cosmetic imperfections of the teeth. Our team in our office in Clinton Township, Michigan has years of experience in helping patients improve their smile through tooth bonding, and are able to provide patients with beautiful and natural-looking results that will last for years to come.

Bonding resin is a tooth-colored material that can be molded and shaped to improve the size and shape of teeth, as well as chips and other cosmetic imperfections. Cosmetic bonding may be used to:

• Correct chips, cracks, and broken teeth
• Correct gaps as well as alignment and spacing issues
• Increase tooth length or width
• Alter the shape of teeth to improve their cosmetic appearance
• Improve the shade or color of a tooth
• Fill in areas of the tooth that have decayed away

Bonding is not only an effective, but also a convenient treatment that can be applied in as little as one visit. Bonding usually does not require sedatives to be applied, except in cases where bonding is being used to address tooth decay where tooth roots are exposed, thus resulting in discomfort when this bonding material is being applied. Direct bonding involves bonding materials being used to address dental cavities or areas of the tooth that have decayed. In these cases, bonding material is applied directly to the teeth, and then shaped by your dentist for beautiful and natural-looking results. Adhesive bonding, on the other hand, is used in tandem with other dental appliances such as veneers, crowns, and bridges, and is used to place these appliances and help form a strong hold to the teeth.
