Railroad Dental Associates Espouses Dental Bridges For Restoring Patients' Smiles

Railroad Dental Associates, a highly rated dental clinic in Manassas Park, VA, is educating local patients about the benefits of installing dental bridges.

A dental bridge, which can be made from several different materials, replaces missing teeth with artificial ones. As their name suggests, they literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. Functionally, they can be used to replace missing teeth, help maintain the shape of the patient’s face, and alleviate stress in their bite.

Dr. Theo Batistas from Railroad Dental Associates explains, “A dental bridge is made up of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap. The two or more anchoring teeth on which the crowns are placed are called abutment teeth and a false tooth/teeth is installed in between them. Bridges can be molded from a range of materials including gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of them.”

The benefits offered by dental bridges include restoring a patient’s smile, restoring their ability to properly chew and speak, maintaining the shape of the face, distributing the forces in their bite properly, and preventing remaining teeth from drifting out of position. If they were self-conscious before the procedure, patients who get dental bridges also report an increase in their confidence.

“The success of any bridge depends on its foundation - the other teeth, gums, or bone to which it is attached,” Dr. Theo says while explaining the factors that determine a successful procedure. “So, it’s very important to keep your existing teeth, gums, and jaw healthy and strong by maintaining good dental hygiene.”

I was in the middle of a crown and my hygienist stayed late to support me and the dentist. The hygienist even pushed back her appointment. My dentist is young, kind, patient, very knowledgeable, thorough, and will make sure your dental quality is perfect. Amazing team and I highly recommend them for your dental care. Love them.”

Another 5-star review says, “The staff and doctors are super wonderful! They have the best hours before and after work hours - I am perpetually late (like 10 minutes or less) to my 7 am appointments and they are so gracious - they still see me!
