With a dental bridge, you can diversify your diet in all sorts of ways. For example, you can enjoy crunchy veggies again and foods that require complex chewing. You’ll also feel more secure knowing your bridge is fixed and cannot rock or tilt.
However, we recommend that you stay away from sticky foods like taffy.
Because the dental bridge is secured with tooth crowns, we want to ensure you don’t loosen or damage one of these crowns with sticky food. You should also avoid twisting off caps or opening packages with your bridge, crowns, or teeth.
Dental Bridges in Wilmette, IL
A dental bridge is one or two teeth positioned between attached dental crowns. Dental crowns are tooth covers that fit over prepared teeth or abutments to restore or repair your smile. Crowns and bridges are color-matched to look natural.
Your dentist secures the crowns over the healthy tooth to the left and right of your smile gap, allowing the bridge teeth to fill the space.
