It is the way that modern dentistry deals with such problems like gum and periodontal disease that has seen far less tooth loss in people. Coupled with this, there has been a big effort to make dentures more wearer friendly; not only by making them look natural, but by making them out of softer materials that cling better to the mouth. Both combinations have led to a big increase in people choosing partial dentures in central Leeds: they are easy to wear and remove at the end of the day, and they are a fraction in price compared to dental implants and bridges. Dare it be said- dentures have turned their fortunes around and become trendy to wear. Full dentures however always were a problem. Yes you need them to replace your teeth, to protect your bite and stop the sagging of your face, but being ill fitting, they often fell out, which was always the bane of the wearer; they also looked fake. Again though, a lot of thought has gone into the development of modern dentures, again from the materials they are made from, new and better cements to glue them in with and the development of the mini-implant that helps lock the denture firmly into the mouth. Of course, it would be better to never have to wear dentures, but if you have to, then you can rest easy that dentures have never been better to wear.
A Bridge is a crossing over a natural gap in the terrain, and a Dental Bridge is based on that same technology, explains a City of Leeds dentist. Often we lose a tooth or two through an accident or infection, but a denture or a Dental Implant isn`t the answer. This is where a Dental Bridge comes in; it is basically an artificial permanently fixed tooth or teeth. You will need good teeth either side of the gap that is being filled; these are the `Anchors` for your bridge. Digital pictures are taken along with an X-ray, and this is sent to an orthodontist for the bridge to be made. It is made to order specifically for your mouth, it is made from a ceramic formula that looks and works exactly like a real tooth. Even the colour is coded to fit in with your other teeth and make the bridge look natural. Your dentist will need to prepare the` anchor teeth` in order to fit it, to do this they will file down the teeth to allow the bridge to fit over them. In affect they will be the holding points for your false tooth or teeth. Almost immediately the bridge will be usable, and the other good news is that you treat it just like the old tooth. You clean and floss it just the same as before, and it will be also free from infection as it is a nerve free zone. It is a preferable alternative to a denture or an implant which can take up to 6 months to fit
