While dental bridges are a reliable and effective solution for replacing missing teeth, there are some risks to consider:
Tooth sensitivity: You might experience temporary sensitivity in the abutment teeth after the bridge is placed.
Decay and damage: The teeth supporting the bridge (abutment teeth) can be susceptible to decay or damage if not properly maintained.
Gum disease: If oral hygiene is not maintained, the area around the bridge could become prone to gum disease.
Bridge failure: Although rare, bridges can sometimes become loose or break due to various factors, including poor fit or excessive force.
Discomfort: Some patients may experience discomfort or adjustment issues initially.
Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices can help minimize these risks and ensure the longevity of your dental bridge.
