Common Issues with Dental Bridges:
- Risk of Decay: Dental bridges require proper oral hygiene maintenance to prevent decay and gum disease around the supporting teeth and bridge attachment points.
- Potential for Damage: Accidental trauma or excessive force can damage dental bridges, necessitating repairs or replacements.
- Adjacent Tooth Sensitivity: Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity in adjacent teeth due to the preparation process for bridge placement.
- Gum Recession: In some cases, gum recession may occur around the supporting teeth, exposing the margins of the bridge and leading to aesthetic concerns.
- Bridge Failure: In rare instances, dental bridges may fail due to issues such as structural weakness, improper fit, or inadequate support from surrounding teeth or bone. Regular dental check-ups can help identify and address any potential issues early on.
