Bridges......?!


Question: Bridges!.!.!.!.!.!.!?
when i was about 12 i lost one of my baby teeth and a wisdom tooth never grew!. i have heard that a bridge can be put at the space left!. But there is little spaceleft since my teeth have come "closer together" over the years!. I am 16 years old now and i think i am old enough to get the bridge so i have 2 questions!. can the dentist make the space larger thus making it possible to put a bridge there, and is there any other "solution" for this tooth problem of mine!? (sorry if too detailed)Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Your dentist or an orthodontist can relatively easily move teeth to create space using either traditional braces or Invisalign, and then you could have that bridge made!. A better alternative to a bridge is placing an implant in that space, it's a very reliable treatment alternative, and it also saves a significant amount of tooth structure that otherwise will need to be sacrificed to fabricate the bridge!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Just note this fact!.!.!.a dental implant is very expensive if you have no dental insurance!. At least $ 3,000
I just checked with my dentist about this last month!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

FYI WISDOM TEETH USUALLY ERUPT BETWEEN 17-24 YEARS!. YOU MAY NOT NEED A BRIDGE AT THIS TIME!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
