Cameron General Dentistry Office Bridges The Gap With Dental Bridges

Dr. Douglas Wyckoff offers dental bridge service as a stable and effective treatment for tooth loss.

2014-03-01

CAMERON, MO, March 01, 2014 (Press-News.org) A gap in your teeth can feel like a canyon-huge and noticeable. Tooth loss usually occurs unexpectedly, especially if it's due to dental trauma. Unless root canal therapy can save the tooth, a tooth infection is also a reason a patient may need to get a tooth extracted.

"When it comes to tooth loss, no one feels like a winner. To boost a patient's confidence and oral health, dentists are able to replace a tooth with a prosthetic dental piece. Some popular restorative treatments include dentures and dental bridges," explains Dr. Wyckoff.

With one dental bridge, two problems will be solved.

First, a dental bridge will fill the gap left behind in your mouth, which will improve your chewing function, speech and esthetic look.

Second, a dental bridge will stop neighboring teeth from shifting or rotating to the affected area. Without replacing a tooth, ultimately, other teeth will gravitate towards the space, causing further problems.

Dental bridges work by anchoring to the teeth neighboring the open spaces. Dr. Wyckoff will need to file down the neighboring teeth to accommodate for the crown going over it. Dental bridge placement shouldn't cause any discomfort.

A bridge can also be anchored to dental implants. Whether a bridge is attached to natural teeth, implants or a combination of implants and teeth, the dental prosthetic will remain stable.

It's important to communicate with your dentist regarding any concerns or questions you will have before receiving treatment.

Do you think a dental bridge will "bridge" the gap in your smile? If so, call Dr. Wyckoff's office of general dentistry in Cameron. Dental Bridges can be a great solution to tooth loss, and you deserve a full-toothed smile!

Improved screening means new targets for pediatric neuroblastoma therapies

2014-03-01

It slices, it dices, and it protects the body from harm (Science)

2014-02-28

An essential weapon in the body's fight against infection has come into sharper view. Researchers at Princeton University have discovered the 3D structure of an enzyme that cuts to ribbons the genetic material of viruses and helps defend against bacteria. The discovery of the structure of this enzyme, a first-responder in the body's "innate immune system," could enable new strategies for fighting infectious agents and possibly prostate cancer and obesity. The work was published Feb. 27 in the journal Science. Until now, the research community has lacked a structural ...

Similarly, experiencing night terrors doubled the risk of such problems, including hallucinations, interrupted thoughts or delusions. Younger children, between ...

Study links poor sleep quality to reduced brain gray matter in Gulf War vets

DARIEN, IL – A new study of Gulf War veterans found an association between poor sleep quality and reduced gray matter volume in the brain's frontal lobe, which helps control important processes such as working memory and executive function.

Researchers identify brain differences linked to insomnia

2014-02-28

Johns Hopkins researchers report that people with chronic insomnia show more plasticity and activity than good sleepers in the part of the brain that controls movement. "Insomnia is not a nighttime disorder," says study leader Rachel E. Salas, M.D., an assistant professor of neurology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. "It's a 24-hour brain condition, like a light switch that is always on. Our research adds information about differences in the brain associated with it." Salas and her team, reporting in the March issue of the journal Sleep, found that ...
