All About Dental Bridges: Types, Methods, Advantages, and More

Introduction

In the realm of dentistry, dentists in Whiteville, NC, dental bridges are vital tools to restore the beauty and functionality of a smile. Whether you've lost a tooth due to injury, decay, or age-related factors, dental bridges offer a reliable solution. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the different types of dental bridges, the methods involved, their advantages, and critical considerations for those considering this dental procedure.

Understanding Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are prosthetic devices designed to bridge the gap created by missing teeth. They consist of two main components – the abutment teeth on either side of the gap and the pontic, the artificial tooth or teeth replacing the missing ones. Dental bridges are crafted from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, and metal alloys, ensuring durability and a natural appearance.

Types of Dental Bridges

Traditional Dental Bridges:

The traditional dental bridge is the most common type, involving the creation of a pontic held in place by dental crowns on the adjacent teeth. This method is suitable when natural teeth are on both sides of the gap.

Cantilever Dental Bridges:

Cantilever bridges are used when only one adjacent tooth supports the pontic. While less common, this type can be effective in specific situations.

Maryland Dental Bridges:

Dental bridges in North Carolina, or resin-bonded bridges, consist of a pontic held in place by a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of adjacent teeth. This type is commonly used for front teeth.

Implant-Supported Dental Bridges:

Implant-supported bridges are a modern solution involving dental implants as the foundation. This method is highly stable and mimics the natural tooth structure closely.

Methods Involved in Dental Bridge Placement

Consultation and Examination:

The dental bridge process begins with a thorough examination and consultation with a dentist in Whiteville, NC. Your dentist will assess your oral health, discuss your options, and create a personalized treatment plan.

Tooth Preparation:

For traditional and cantilever bridges, the abutment teeth are prepared by removing a portion of enamel to accommodate the crowns. This step is crucial for ensuring a proper fit.

Impressions and Bridge Fabrication:

Precise impressions of your teeth are taken to create a mold for the dental bridge. The bridge is then custom-made in a dental laboratory, using high-quality materials to match your natural teeth.

Temporary Bridge Placement:

While waiting for the permanent bridge, a temporary bridge may be placed to protect the exposed teeth and maintain functionality.

Final Bridge Placement:

Once the permanent bridge is ready, it is carefully fitted, adjusted, and cemented into place. Your Whiteville, NC, dentist ensures a comfortable fit and natural appearance.

Advantages of Dental Bridges

Aesthetics:

Dental bridges restore your smile, enhancing your facial appearance and boosting confidence. The materials used closely mimic the look and feel of natural teeth.

Functional Restoration:

Missing teeth can affect your ability to chew and speak properly. Dental bridges provide a functional solution, restoring the full range of mouth functions.

Prevents Shifting of Teeth:

A gap left by a missing tooth can lead to adjacent teeth shifting out of place. Dental bridges prevent this movement, maintaining proper alignment and bite.

Longevity:

With proper dental bridge care and regular dental check-ups, dental bridges can last many years, providing a durable and reliable solution for tooth loss.

Improved Speech:

Missing teeth can impact speech patterns. Dental bridges restore proper speech and pronunciation, enhancing communication.

Balanced Bite:

Dental bridges distribute the force of biting and chewing evenly, preventing excessive stress on remaining natural teeth.

Cost-Effective:

Compared to other tooth replacement options, dental bridges are a cost-effective solution, offering aesthetic and functional benefits.

Minimizes Bone Loss:

Implant-supported bridges, in particular, help maintain jawbone density, preventing the bone loss that can occur with missing teeth.

Considerations for Dental Bridges

Oral Hygiene:

Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial for the longevity of dental bridges. Regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings help prevent decay and gum disease.

Follow-Up Care:

After the bridge placement, follow-up appointments with your dentist in Whiteville, NC, are essential to ensure proper fit and function. Your dentist will monitor the bridge and address any concerns.

Lifestyle Factors:

Certain habits, such as teeth grinding or chewing on complex objects, can impact the longevity of dental bridges. It's important to discuss lifestyle factors with your dentist in Whiteville, NC, to ensure the success of the treatment.

Choosing a Dentist for Dental Bridges

Selecting the right dentist in Whiteville, NC, is paramount when considering dental bridge procedures. Look for a dentist with experience in restorative dentistry, a commitment to patient comfort, and a focus on using the latest technologies for optimal outcomes. Reading patient reviews and seeking recommendations can help you make an informed decision.

Conclusion

Dental bridges offer a transformative solution for those dealing with missing teeth. From traditional to implant-supported bridges, the variety of options ensures a personalized approach to each patient's unique needs. As you embark on restoring your smile, understanding dental bridge types, methods, and advantages empowers you to make informed decisions. Consult with your dentist in Whiteville, NC, to explore the best option for oral health and regain the confidence that comes with a complete and beautiful smile.

He was born enslaved in Giddensville, North Carolina. At the start of the Civil War, he would follow the Confederate army while serving as a personal servant. He would enlist in the Union Army and go on to fight in the Battle of Bentonville.

After becoming a freedman, he worked as a teacher before getting a scholarship to attend the University of South Carolina.

In 1880 he would convert to the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church while attending a camp in Whiteville, North Carolina. He attained a preacher’s license and was ordained as a local deacon. Following his conversion, he would go on to receive an honorary Doctor of Divinity from Livingstone College.

New York police will use drones to monitor backyard parties this weekend, spurring privacy concerns (AP) Those attending outdoor parties or barbecues in New York City this weekend may notice an uninvited guest looming over their festivities: a police surveillance drone. The New York City police department plans to pilot the unmanned aircrafts in response to complaints about large gatherings, including private events, over Labor Day weekend, officials announced Thursday. “If a caller states there’s a large crowd, a large party in a backyard, we’re going to be utilizing our assets to go up and go check on the party,” Kaz Daughtry, the assistant NYPD Commissioner, said at a press conference. The plan drew immediate backlash from privacy and civil liberties advocates, raising questions about whether such drone use violated existing laws for police surveillance. Like many cities, New York is increasingly relying on drones for policing purposes. Data maintained by the city shows the police department has used drones for public safety or emergency purposes 124 times this year, up from just four times in all of 2022.

Residents return to find towns devastated in path of Idalia (AP) Hurricanes and tropical storms are nothing new in the South, but the sheer magnitude of damage from Idalia shocked Desmond Roberson as he toured what as left of his Georgia neighborhood. Roberson took a drive through Valdosta on Thursday with a friend to check out damage after the storm, which first hit Florida as a hurricane and then weakened into a tropical storm as it made its way north, ripped through the town of 55,000. On one street, he said, a tree had fallen on nearly every house. Roads remained blocked by tree trunks and downed power lines, and traffic lights were still blacked out at major intersections. The storm first made landfall Wednesday in Florida, where it razed homes and downed power poles. It then swung northeast, slamming Georgia, flooding many of South Carolina’s beaches and sending seawater into the streets of downtown Charleston. In North Carolina it poured more than 9 inches (23 centimeters) of rain on Whiteville, which flooded downtown buildings. Residents along the path of destruction have now returned to pick through piles of rubble that used to be homes.

Delinquencies rise for credit cards and auto loans, and it could get worse (Washington Post) More Americans are falling behind on their car loan and credit card payments than at any time in more than a decade, a troubling signal of consumer stress as higher prices and rising borrowing costs are squeezing household budgets. The pain is most acute for lower-income earners, who have largely used whatever they managed to save during the pandemic with the help of government stimulus checks and breaks on obligations such as rent and student loans. Now, as the economy finds its post-pandemic footing, there are signs the hardship for millions of consumers will get worse before it improves. Another red flag: Shoppers are turning to buy now, pay later services to cover necessities such as groceries. Usage surged 40 percent in the first two months of 2023, according to data from Adobe Analytics.

Mexico City’s old airport told to cut flights by 17%, leading airlines to warn of mass cancellations (AP) The Mexican government ordered Mexico City’s old airport to cut flights by 17% Thursday, sparking warnings by airlines of possible mass flight cancellations. The new rules scheduled to take effect by Oct. 29 would require the terminal to reduce the number of flights per hour at the airport from 52 to 43. The airport has a design capacity of around 61 flights per hour, but that has already been cut to 52 previously. The airport has maintenance problems, including flooding or sewage smells in some areas. But the country’s airline industry chamber says that’s because the government took away the terminal’s revenues to pay for an airport project elsewhere that was later cancelled.

Ukrainian drone attacks Russian town near major nuclear plant (Reuters) A Ukrainian drone attacked a town in western Russia which is home to one of the country’s biggest nuclear power stations, though there was no damage reported to the plant, Russian officials said. Governor Roman Starovoit said a Ukrainian drone had damaged the facade of a building in the town of Kurchatov, just a few kilometres from the Kursk nuclear power station, early on Friday. The Soviet-era Kursk nuclear power station has the same graphite-moderated reactors as the Chernobyl nuclear plant. An explosion and fire at the Chernobyl plant in 1986, in then Soviet Ukraine, was the world’s worst nuclear accident, spreading radiation across Europe.

Anti-drone systems, 130,000 security officers to guard India’s G20 Summit (Reuters) About 130,000 security officers will be deployed as India hosts the world’s most powerful leaders at a G20 summit in New Delhi this month, a showcase for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the country’s growing presence on the world stage. The two-day summit, starting September 9, will have the most high-profile guest list India has ever welcomed, from U.S. President Joe Biden to British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Saudi Arabia’s Mohammed Bin Salman. However, Chinese President Xi Jinping is likely to skip the meeting, sources in New Delhi and Beijing have said. / (Al Jazeera) India is hiring security against monkeys as well. Life size cutouts of the aggressive langur monkey have been set up around New Delhi to fend off marauding rhesus monkeys, which regularly wreak havoc across the city. The city council has also hired 30 “monkey-men” to make langur sounds—to scare the hungry monkeys away from floral displays laid out for the G20 summit next week.

Amid record heat, even indoor factory workers enter dangerous terrain (Washington Post) When temperatures in Thailand shot past 112 degrees earlier this year, the government issued extreme heat warnings for large swaths of the country. It wasn’t safe, officials said, to be outdoors. But Rungnapa Rattanasri, 51, didn’t work outdoors. She worked inside, on the second floor of a dilapidated garment factory with no fans or air-conditioning. For $10 a day, she cut and trimmed bolts of rayon in rooms where the ambient temperature regularly exceeded 100 degrees. Extreme heat caused by human-induced climate change has wreaked havoc on the bodies of outdoor workers, from delivery drivers in India to construction workers in Qatar. Now, heat scientists and labor researchers say even those who labor indoors are not safe. Across Southeast Asia’s manufacturing hubs, rising temperatures, mixed with high humidity, are leaving workers like Rungnapa baking in poorly ventilated sweatshops. The impact of extreme heat is understudied in Thailand, as it is in much of the tropical world. Communities here have spent generations acclimatizing themselves to warm, humid weather, developing both biological and social adaptations. But the pace of climate change is driving temperatures beyond what even the most heat-adapted communities can handle.

Pope arrives on first visit to Mongolia (AP) Pope Francis arrived in Mongolia on Friday morning to encourage one of the world’s smallest and newest Catholic communities. It’s the first time a pope has visited the landlocked Asian country and comes at a time when the Vatican’s relations with Mongolia’s two powerful neighbors, Russia and China, are once again strained. Francis arrived in the Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar after an overnight flight passing through Chinese airspace, affording the pontiff a rare opportunity to send a note of greetings to President Xi Jinping. Vatican protocol calls for the pope to send such greetings whenever he flies over a foreign country. While Christianity has been present in the region for hundreds of years, the Catholic Church has only had a sanctioned presence in Mongolia since 1992, after the country shrugged off its Soviet-allied communist government and enshrined religious freedom in its constitution. The Holy See and Mongolia have had diplomatic relations ever since, and a handful of missionary religious orders including Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity have nurtured the tiny community through its first three decades of life.

China’s largest property developer at risk of default (Washington Post) China’s largest property developer, Country Garden, warned that it is on the brink of default as it reported a staggering loss of almost $7 billion for the first half of the year, deepening a real estate crisis that threatens to unravel the country’s already fragile economy. China’s property market accounts for about a quarter of its gross domestic product and two-thirds of household wealth, but post-pandemic uncertainty and a government crackdown on the sector have weakened sales and affected broader confidence in the economy.

Saudi man sentenced to death for tweets in harshest verdict yet for online critics (NPR) A retired teacher in Saudi Arabia was recently sentenced to death for his tweets criticizing the country’s leadership to his handful of followers, according to rights advocates and his family. The sentencing of Mohammad Alghamdi, who is in his mid-50s, is the latest in an escalating crackdown on social media users in Saudi Arabia. While others are serving prison terms ranging from 20 to 45 years for their tweets and online criticism of the government, Alghamdi appears to be the first person to be sentenced to death based solely on his posts on X, formerly called Twitter, and YouTube activity. Alghamdi, a father of seven living in Mecca, had gained just 10 followers between the two anonymous accounts he ran on X. According to Human Rights Watch, he used the social media site to rail against alleged government corruption, but was mostly resharing posts by more popular government critics. Alghamdi’s brother, Saeed Alghamdi, believes the case against his younger brother is actually meant to target him. Saeed Alghamdi is a well-known Islamic scholar connected to many of the kingdom’s most prominent jailed critics. He left Saudi Arabia in 2013 and founded the Saudi rights group, SANAD. He now lives in exile in the United Kingdom.

Amid a wave of West African coups, France faces a reckoning (Washington Post) In West Africa, the dominoes keep falling. Barely more than a month has passed since the presidential guard in Niger toppled the country’s democratically elected government, triggering a tense standoff between a usurping junta and the international community. Then, this week, the top brass in Gabon unseated the country’s long-ruling President Ali Bongo in the wake of a controversial election. The ouster of the Gabonese president, who is currently believed to be under house arrest, marked the seventh coup in the region in the space of three years—including putsches in Mali, Burkina Faso and Guinea. There are many contextual differences between the various putsches, but they share an apparent and inescapable common denominator: the prevalence of anti-French sentiment driving a rejection of the political status quo. In much of West Africa—and in all the countries in the region that experienced these recent anti-democratic takeovers—France is the old colonial power. The juntas that have swept aside the previous regimes have weaponized resentment of Paris’s deep and complicated imperial legacy. “France’s tight post-independence links to local elites, and its past willingness to act as a regional gendarme to prop up leaders, bound up its fortunes in theirs,” noted the Economist. For that reason, it added, “the failures of unpopular rulers today, to reduce poverty or curb violence, are readily blamed on their proximity to France.”

Food ads in the crosshairs (AP) Food ads have long made their subjects look bigger, juicier and crispier than they are in real life. But some consumers say those mouthwatering ads can cross the line into deception, and that’s leading to a growing number of lawsuits. Burger King is the latest company in the crosshairs. In August, a federal judge in Florida refused to dismiss a class action lawsuit that claims Burger King’s ads overstate the amount of meat in its Whopper burger and other sandwiches. But Burger King is far from the only one. Perkins Coie, a law firm that tracks class action suits, said 214 were filed against food and beverage companies in 2022 and 101 were filed in the first six months of this year.

Skip to content 38° Watch Live Election Results Greene sworn in as Columbus Co. sheriff; DA files petition for removal and permanent disqualification On the same day that Jody Greene was sworn in as Columbus County Sheriff, the District Attorney filed a petition for his removal and permanent disqualification. By Zach Solon and WECT Staff Published: Dec. 29, 2022 at 9:13 AM EST|Updated: Dec. 29, 2022 at 6:15 PM EST COLUMBUS CO., N.C. (WECT) - On the same day that Jody Greene was sworn in as Columbus County Sheriff, District Attorney Jon David filed a petition for his removal and permanent disqualification Thursday. This is the second time that David has filed a petition of removal against Greene. Earlier this year, WECT released recordings of Greene making racist statements against deputies in the sheriff’s office following his election four years ago. Those recordings led District Attorney Jon David to file a petition to have a judge remove Greene from office, revealing a number of allegations against Greene including misconduct while in office, a sexual affair with a deputy, and more. Those allegations also prompted an ongoing investigation of Greene by the State Bureau of Investigation, and WECT has been made aware of federal subpoenas issued regarding Greene’s alleged actions. Greene resigned as sheriff during a hearing on the petition on Oct. 24. The second petition to remove includes an affidavit from Whiteville Police Department Lt. Andre Jackson, who said he was contact by the sheriff’s office on numerous occasions to investigate an incident involving a black woman who was then employed at the sheriff’s office. Clementine Brown was the captain over the Columbus County Detention Center and was on medical leave when Jody Greene was sworn in as sheriff in December of 2018. Brown alleges that when she returned to work, Greene told her she would no longer be the captain over the detention center. She said at the time she was the only black female on the command staff. Brown says she also was told that her salary would decrease by $10,000 annually. Brown says she was employed with the sheriff’s office until around July of 2020. She says during https://www.instagram.com/p/CnZcNc0gpL7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
