dental bridges help return the form and function of the mouth after a tooth extraction or other kind of tooth loss. Effective treatment and dental care after tooth loss can help patients enjoy more natural eating and speaking. A dental bridge is a type of replacement tooth that fills in the gap between natural teeth, often by connecting to the remaining teeth on either side of it.</p>\n<p class=\"DGspeakableP2\"> Dental bridges are available at University Dental Associates in The Bronx and the surrounding area. If you have missing teeth or are expecting to undergo an extraction, do not wait to address the problem. A dental bridge may not only restore the appearance of the smile but also make daily life more comfortable.

There are several types of dental bridges, but most connect to the abutting natural teeth to hold them in place. This helps prevent the rotating and shifting that can be brought on by gaps in the mouth left by missing teeth. Bridge work is typically designed to be a permanent addition to the mouth and is not removable. Dental bridges <a title=\"Read more about After A Dental Bridge Procedure: What To Expect\" href=\"https://www.colgate.com/en-us/oral-health/bridges-and-crowns/after-a-dental-bridge-procedure-what-to-expect\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Dental-Bridges\"> require healthy surrounding teeth or implants to have enough bone support.</a></p>\n<p>With proper care, dental bridges can last for close to ten years. Dentists recommend patients brush and least twice daily using a soft-bristled toothbrush. It is important to floss daily around the teeth and bridge and use an antiseptic mouth rinse. Your dentist may recommend a proxabrush to clean under your bridge.

Additionally, a bridge may not be an option if there are insufficient bone and tooth matter to support it.

Three of them use different mechanisms to attach to the abutting teeth. The fourth type connects to the jawbone via an implant.</p>\n<ul class=\"bullet-list\">\n<li><b>Traditional.</b> A traditional bridge is a combination of one or more replacement teeth with crowns on either side. It is necessary to grind down the abutment teeth slightly. The crowns are placed over the natural teeth and cemented in place.</li>\n<li><b>Cantilever.</b> This is similar to a traditional bridge but used when there is only a single abutment tooth. It uses a cantilever design to secure the bridge in place from a single point.</li>\n<li><b>Maryland.</b> The Maryland dental bridge also connects to the adjacent teeth. However, it has a metal framework that bonds to the inside of the natural teeth with resin, avoiding the need for crowns on the abutment teeth.</li>\n<li><b>Implant-Supported.</b> Some bridges are implant-supported. They connect directly to the jawbone with dental implants, small metal studs that replicate natural tooth roots.

Our team recommends this option to patients who are candidates and want to restore the form and function of their mouths. These are a few of the benefits:</p>\n<ul class=\"bullet-list\">\n<li><b>Emulate Natural Teeth:</b> The porcelain teeth on a dental bridge look, feel, and function like natural teeth. They are stable in the mouth. Therefore, they are similar to natural teeth when eating and speaking.</li>\n<li><b>Allow Brushing:</b> Patients can clean dental bridges in the mouth, unlike with removable dentures, meaning they can brush and floss like normal. Maintaining this familiar process can make care more manageable.</li>\n<li><b>Provide Value:</b> Compared to implants, dental bridges are less expensive. They may cost more than removable dentures. Many patients find that they provide a healthy balance between cost and effectiveness.</li>\n<li><b>Perform Effectively:</b> Missing teeth may produce embarrassment and make speaking and eating more challenging. They may also slowly erode the jawbone over time. A dental bridge is an effective way to overcome these issues.</li>\n</ul>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS5 dental-bridges v1 Service Page Section 5 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ5\" id=\"dental-bridges v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about the benefits of dental bridges\"><!-- Pull quote block 5 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Dental bridges can be an effective treatment for missing teeth.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ5 dental-bridges v1 Service Page Pull Quote 5 -->\n\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-mute SPFAQ\" id=\"dental-bridges v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Frequently asked questions related to Dental Bridges\"><!-- Service Page FAQ -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Frequently Asked Questions</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">How can I care for my dental bridge?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">According to the <a title=\"Read more about Caring for my teeth and gums\" href=\"https://www.dentalhealth.org/caring-for-my-teeth\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Dental-Bridges\">Oral Health Foundation</a>, dental bridge patients should continue to care for their teeth as usual.

This approach can provide additional insight into dental issues, save time, and potentially be more cost-effective. Difficult aesthetic and functional dental problems typically involve several dentistry fields. Receiving treatment at a dental center that offers various services can streamline this process. Additionally, patients with <a title=\"Read more about Multidisciplinary dentistry for transitional care patients\" href=\"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30349905/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Dental-Center\">complex medical issues</a> can benefit from a specialized dental team trained on how a patient’s medical condition can affect their dental health.</p>\n<p>Often, dental centers can have several dentists covering one area. Patients who do not mind seeing a different dentist every appointment may want to consider a dental center. A dental center also has the advantage of being able to offer newer technology to its patients, which can be cost-prohibitive for a smaller dental office. Another advantage of dental centers is the increased ability to treat patients with special needs, including patients with hearing issues or developmental or physical disabilities.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 dental-center v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"dental-center v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about the advantages of a dental center\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Dental centers have different dental specialists practicing in the same clinic.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 dental-center v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"dental-center v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about family services in one location\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"benefits-of-having-family-services-in-one-location\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Family Services in One Location</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Having family services in one location can prevent the need for multiple dental facilities for each family member’s oral health needs. Dental centers can provide services to all members of the family, regardless of age. Since dental centers offer a wider range of treatment options, families with children, teens, and adults can receive the dental care they need.</p>\n<p>Dental history can also be hard to track when a family uses multiple providers at different locations. A dental center can make it easier to monitor each patient and keep track of dental records.

dental checkup for the first time, or if they have not been to the dentist in a while, they often find themselves wondering what a dental checkup is. During this routine appointment, a dental professional will check the smile, teeth, and gums for infection, decay, and disease, such as cavities or periodontitis (gum disease).</p>\n<p class=\"DGspeakableP2\">At some point during the checkup, they will also be given guidance on home care. This allows them to keep their smile in the best shape possible between checkups. Scheduling your checkup is as easy as calling our University Dental Associates team in The Bronx at <a title=\"Click to call University Dental Associates at (718) 733-6600\" href=\"tel:+1-718-733-6600\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"CTC-Phone-Formatted-0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">(718) 733-6600</a>.</p>\n</div>\n</div><!-- /.end intro text -->\n<!-- Contact Form -->\n<div class=\"col s12 m6 l4\">\n<div class=\"content-block\">\n<div class=\"form-wrapper-default bg-form z-depth-1\">\n[contact-form main]\n</div>\n</div>\n</div><!-- /.end contact form -->\n</div>\n</section><!-- /.end service intro -->\n<!-- Intro Section Content Ends Here -->\n<section class=\"inner-topbar bg-primary\"></section>\n\n<!-- Service Body -->\n<section class=\"service-body\">\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<!-- Main Content (Left Hand Column) -->\n<div class=\"col m12 m6 l9 SPLR\">\n<div class=\"main-body\">\n<!-- Main Content Starts Here -->\n\n[service-video]\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-primary SPS1\" id=\"dental-checkup v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about dental cleaning\"><!-- Section 1 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"what-is-involved-dental-cleaning\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Dental Cleaning</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>During the dental cleaning, the dental professional will remove the plaque — a buildup of bacteria that deposits onto the teeth. To do this, the dental professional will scrape the teeth above and below the gum line with special tools. The teeth may be rinsed periodically during this process. Then, the dental professional will floss between the teeth. If the patient does not floss regularly, they may find this to be a little uncomfortable; but if they include flossing as part of their daily oral care practice, this discomfort will go away over time.</p>\n<p>At the end of the dental cleaning, the dental professional will polish the teeth. This polishing helps protect the teeth against the buildup of plaque so they stay shiny and smoother longer. The polish is applied with a spinning brush and a paste. This paste resembles toothpaste but is slightly coarse so it can better eliminate any residue that might have been missed. When the dental professional is done cleaning the teeth, the patient may be asked to rinse and gargle with mouthwash.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 dental-checkup v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"dental-checkup v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about dental cleaning\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"During the dental cleaning, the dental professional will remove the plaque — a buildup of bacteria that deposits onto the teeth.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 dental-checkup v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"dental-checkup v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about dental examination\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"dentist-look-for-dental-examination\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Dental Examination</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>The dentist will speak to the patient about their dental history.

These tools include a scraping tool that looks like a small metal hook to remove buildup from the surface of the teeth and an electric toothbrush with coarse toothpaste to clean and shine the teeth. Together with a dental mouthwash, a dental cleaning will remove buildup from the teeth and protect them from bacteria.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">What is a dental exam?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">A dental exam is very similar to a dental checkup. Just like a checkup, a dental professional checks the teeth for any sign of concern and cleans the teeth. The difference is that with a dental exam, the dental professional will also check other areas that may be affected by oral health, like the head and neck. This exam is usually only recommended for new patients.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">What is a dental X-ray?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">A dental X-ray is like other X-rays, but this one looks specifically at the mouth. More specifically, this X-ray looks at the roots and areas beneath the gum line where the dental professional otherwise would not be able to see. Dental X-rays are important for checking for signs of disease or other oral health concerns around the roots of the teeth.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">What happens if someone waits too long for a dental checkup?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Bacteria naturally attach to the surface of the teeth as they are used to eat. While at-home oral care can help to remove much of this bacteria, it is next to impossible to remove all of it without professional dental tools. Waiting too long between dental checkups gives these bacteria time to settle onto the teeth and turn into plaque and tartar. If this buildup is not removed, it could lead to tooth decay or disease over time and create further oral health concerns.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">What at-home care should be done between dental checkups?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Recommended at-home dental care includes brushing twice a day and flossing at least once a day. Also, dental care professionals suggest patients use a mouthwash that includes fluoride. Patients may be advised to avoid smoking, eating sugary foods, and other activities that are known to be harmful to oral health.</span></p>\n</span>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPFAQ dental-checkup v1 Service Page FAQ -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-primary section-block SPVUT\" id=\"dental-checkup v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Maps, directions, and QR code to help you visit University Dental Associates\"><!-- Service Page Visit Us Today -->\n<!-- Call-out block -->\n<style>\n.nav-image {\ndisplay: inline-block;\n}\n.img-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.icon-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.qr-styling {\nwidth: 60%;\n}\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 14px;\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.img-width, .icon-width {\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.qr-styling {\nmargin-top: 25px;\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 20px;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {\n.fix-wrap-row {\nflex-wrap: wrap;\n}\n.fix-wrap-column {\nflex-basis: 100%;\n}\n}\n</style>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12\">\n<a name=\"dentist-the-bronx-ny\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Quality Dental Services Can Transform Your Smile</h2>\n<p class=\"center-align\">By visiting us as soon as possible, our team can help get you the professional treatment you need.

NY</span></h1>\n<p class=\"DGspeakableP1\">Dental cleaning is a crucial part of regular dental checkups and examinations. It keeps the smile healthy and free of disease. The dental cleaning process includes plaque removal, flossing, polishing, and an examination of the gums. Those who keep up with their regular appointments and at-home oral hygiene routine should experience simple and efficient dental cleaning appointments.</p>\n<p class=\"DGspeakableP2\">A specialized dental professional is responsible for this part of a dental examination and will answer any questions someone might have, help address their oral health concerns, and provide guidance on how they can keep their smile in the best shape possible.

This mirror is angled so that they can see all around the mouth, gums, and teeth. During this examination, they will look for signs of oral health concerns, such as inflamed gums, which may indicate <a title=\"Read more about Gingivitis\" href=\"https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gingivitis/symptoms-causes/syc-20354453\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Dental-Cleaning-and-Examinations\">gingivitis</a> — the first stage of gum disease. Unless there are any problems detected, the examination and cleaning are taken care of by the dental professional without needing to consult anyone else.</p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Scaling</h3>\n<p>The dental professional will use a scaler to remove any plaque or tartar that has built up on the surface of the teeth since the last dental examination. This is important because buildup can lead to tooth decay and cavities. A scaler is a special tool that looks like a hook. The dental professional uses it to remove the plaque on the teeth and around the gumline. It is normal to hear scraping sounds during the scaling. With regular brushing and flossing, scaling should not take too long.</p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Cleaning</h3>\n<p>After the dental professional has removed the plaque, they will use a gritty toothpaste and electric brush to smooth and polish the teeth. The brush may be noisy, but the brushing itself is unlikely to cause discomfort. The toothpaste has a gritty substance to help get rid of any leftover plaque that the scaling might have missed, and the paste itself will polish the teeth to protect them from the buildup of bacteria between checkups.</p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Flossing</h3>\n<p>Flossing should be part of everyone’s regular at-home oral care routine. For people who do not floss regularly, there may be some discomfort during this part of the dental cleaning. The dental professional will use a thin piece of floss and glide it between each tooth to remove any plaque that might be present. They will likely ask how often the patient flosses and offer some suggestions for at-home care.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 dental-cleaning-and-examinations v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"dental-cleaning-and-examinations v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about what to expect during the dental cleaning process\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Unless there are any problems detected, the examination and cleaning are taken care of by the dental professional without needing to consult anyone else.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 dental-cleaning-and-examinations v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"dental-cleaning-and-examinations v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about the power of the dentist\'s fluoride and equipment\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"fluoride-mouthwash-in-the-cleaning\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">The Power of the Dentist\'s Fluoride and Equipment</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>At the end of the dental cleaning, the patient will likely be asked to rinse with a special <a title=\"Read more about Fluoride\" href=\"https://www.mouthhealthy.org/en/az-topics/f/fluoride\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Dental-Cleaning-and-Examinations\">fluoride mouthwash</a>.

A deep cleaning, however, may be necessary for those who have not had a normal dental cleaning in some time.

While scaling removes buildup from around the gums, root planning goes deeper. During root planing, the dental professional will remove buildup from the surface of the tooth roots.

However, cosmetic dentistry is not considered a separate specialty by the American Dental Association. All cosmetic dentists have trained as general dentists, while some may have completed additional training as prosthodontists or orthodontists.</p>\n<p>Although many cosmetic dentistry options are available, people should choose the right one based on their current situation and goals. It is also essential to conduct thorough research and have realistic expectations. People interested in receiving treatment should understand the benefits, risks, and costs of any procedure before deciding. Speak with a cosmetic dentist for more information and guidance on which services may offer the best outcomes.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 dental-cosmetics v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"dental-cosmetics v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about what to know about dental cosmetics\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Cosmetic dentists work to improve the smile’s appearance rather than focusing solely on dental health as a general dentist does.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 dental-cosmetics v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"dental-cosmetics v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about dental cosmetics restorative options\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"cosmetic-dentistry-restore-teeth\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Dental Cosmetics Restorative Options</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Many cosmetic procedures are considered restorative as well. Restorative procedures replace damaged or missing teeth and are more aimed at improving function and oral health. These options aim to return a smile to its former form and function and prevent future oral problems. Some popular restorative procedures that also improve teeth cosmetically are:</p>\n<ul class=\"bullet-list\">\n<li><b>Bonding:</b> This procedure involves using tooth-colored resin to repair a damaged tooth. Bonding corrects decayed, damaged, or misshapen teeth. It provides cosmetic and functional restoration for minor damage.</li>\n<li><b>Crowns:</b> These tooth-shaped caps fit over a damaged tooth. They imitate the size, shape, strength, and appearance of natural teeth. Crowns can also cover implants or anchors for bridges.</li>\n<li><b>Implants:</b> An implant replaces the root of a tooth. It may hold a crown or dentures in place. Dental implants are a permanent and robust replacement for missing teeth.</li>\n</ul>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 dental-cosmetics v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"dental-cosmetics v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about dental cosmetics restorative options\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Cosmetic dentists can perform procedures that serve restorative as well as aesthetic purposes.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 dental-cosmetics v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"dental-cosmetics v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about exclusively cosmetic procedures\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"purely-cosmetic-procedures\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Exclusively Cosmetic Procedures</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Other dental cosmetic procedures serve purely cosmetic purposes. Cosmetic dentistry continues to empower people to improve their smiles. Some common purely cosmetic procedures include:</p>\n<ul class=\"bullet-list\">\n<li><b>Enamel Shaping:</b> A cosmetic dentist can shape the enamel to improve its appearance. People with crooked, overlapping, irregular, or damaged teeth will often get enamel shaping. Patients will commonly combine enamel shaping with other treatments like bonding. </li>\n<li><b>Teeth Whitening:</b> Teeth become stained over time from consuming foods and drinks, smoking, or taking certain medications. People can choose between getting teeth whitening under the supervision of a dental professional or at home using less effective over-the-counter products. Some professional teeth whitening options are tray-based tooth whiteners and in-office bleaching.</li>\n<li><b>Veneers:</b> When getting a veneer, a patient will have a small amount of enamel shaved down to improve the tooth’s appearance. A wafer-thin ceramic shell replaces the shaved enamel. A bonding material then attaches the ceramic shell to the tooth and allows normal tooth function.</li>\n</ul>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 dental-cosmetics v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"dental-cosmetics v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about exclusively cosmetic procedures\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Cosmetic dentistry continues to empower people to improve their smiles.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 dental-cosmetics v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"dental-cosmetics v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Dental Cosmetics services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"dental-cosmetics-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Dental Cosmetics in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Dental-Cosmetics\">Dental Cosmetics in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS dental-cosmetics v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"dental-cosmetics v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about the benefits of dental cosmetics\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"benefits-of-dental-cosmetics\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">The Benefits of Dental Cosmetics</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Many people yearn for a more attractive smile. Correcting damaged teeth, bite straightening, and teeth whitening are a few of the many solutions people can use to improve their smile. These treatments can give people the confidence they need to smile bigger and more often. <a title=\"Read more about Impact of Dental Disorders and its Influence on Self Esteem Levels among Adolescents\" href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5449896/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Dental-Cosmetics\">A 2017 study</a> found that various dental disorders like malocclusion, anterior traumatic tooth, tooth loss, and untreated decay profoundly affected adolescents’ appearance and psychosocial behavior, thus affecting their self-esteem. Dental cosmetics may have positive psychological effects, as some patients have reported improved self-esteem after receiving treatment.</p>\n<p>Dental cosmetics can have other benefits by offering solutions to improve a patient’s aesthetic appearance. Some procedures can fix aesthetic issues like crooked, damaged, or diseased teeth. In some cases, dental cosmetics can also improve facial appearance and structure. Although the primary focus of dental cosmetics is improving appearance, specific procedures can also improve health and function. For example, implants are a common way to address the difficulties of missing teeth. Bonding and crowns can fix the appearance of a chipped tooth and alleviate the resulting discomfort.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS4 dental-cosmetics v1 Service Page Section 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ4\" id=\"dental-cosmetics v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about the benefits of dental cosmetics\"><!-- Pull quote block 4 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Dental cosmetics can have other benefits by offering solutions to improve a patient’s aesthetic appearance.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ4 dental-cosmetics v1 Service Page Pull Quote 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-primary SPQ\" id=\"dental-cosmetics v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Questions closely related to Dental Cosmetics\"><!-- Service Page Questions -->\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Questions Answered on This Page</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <a title=\"Q.

Some patients can achieve their goals through a few visits, while others require more. Ask questions during the consultation to find out how many visits your treatment plan will entail.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Is cosmetic dentistry permanent?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Some cosmetic dentistry treatments will last longer than others. For example, teeth whitening is not permanent, and patients will eventually need to receive additional treatments.

However, the natural parts of your teeth still can.

While the porcelain in veneers is not likely to stain, bleached teeth can stain easily from certain foods and drinks. It is important to follow care instructions and schedule regular exams and cleanings with a dentist to maintain your treatment.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Can tooth whitening damage enamel?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\"><a title=\"Read more about Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth Whitening\" href=\"https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/teeth-whitening-faq\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Dental-Cosmetics\"> Tooth whitening does not damage the enamel</a> or any other part of the mouth permanently when done correctly.

The first line of defense against a cavity is a filling. However, deeper decay may require more extensive repair. In such cases, dentists may rely on a dental crown treatment or a dental cap.</p>\n<p class=\"DGspeakableP2\">Dental crown treatment is available at University Dental Associates in The Bronx and the surrounding area. Crowns help restore a tooth that has significant damage with a custom-sized cap that fits over the old tooth. We provide dental crowns and restorations for our patients.

Crowns often complete dental implants or cover teeth treated with root canals.

If a patient has a single missing tooth, dentists may restore it by creating a dental appliance that anchors to the two adjacent teeth. The dentist must reshape the two abutment teeth to secure the dental bridge. Reshaping these teeth involves removing much of the enamel. The abutment teeth are topped with dental crowns which attach to the new artificial tooth that makes up the middle piece of the bridge.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 dental-crowns v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"dental-crowns v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about how dental bridges work with dental crowns\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"The dentist must reshape the two abutment teeth to secure the dental bridge.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 dental-crowns v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<a name=\"get-a-dental-crown\"></a>\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"dental-crowns v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about why patients get a dental crown\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Why Patients Get a Dental Crown</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Some patients may choose dental crowns to avoid further damage or decay to an existing tooth or to maintain an aesthetically pleasing smile.

Any infections or cavities must be addressed or filled. Sometimes, an old crown needs replacement. In this case, the dentist will remove the remnants first.</li>\n<li><b>Preparation.</b> Next, the dentist must prepare the tooth for the crown. The dentist or another member of our team will shave down the tooth to make room for the crown. Then, the dental staff makes a series of impressions to send to the lab. Some patients receive a temporary crown at the end of this appointment.</li>\n<li><b>Crown Delivery.</b> Once the crown is ready for delivery, the patient must return to the office for placement. First, the dentist tries on the crown to make sure it feels and looks right in the mouth. If it fits correctly, the dentist uses dental cement to glue it in place permanently.</li>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS4 dental-crowns v1 Service Page Section 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ4\" id=\"dental-crowns v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about receiving a dental crown step-by-step\"><!-- Pull quote block 4 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"In many cases, the dental crown procedure is part of another dental treatment plan, such as a root canal.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ4 dental-crowns v1 Service Page Pull Quote 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-primary SPQ\" id=\"dental-crowns v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Questions closely related to Dental Crowns and Dental Bridges\"><!-- Service Page Questions -->\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Questions Answered on This Page</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <a title=\"Q.

The crown\'s material and the patient\'s oral health may determine how often they will need replacement.

Crowns that are part of a treatment plan, such as tooth decay repair, may have a higher likelihood of insurance coverage. The choice of material for the crown also influences the cost.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">How long will it take to get a crown?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">The length of the dental crown treatment is dependent on several factors.

But tooth decay is not the only factor that can lead to tooth loss; gum disease is another common cause. Also, many people lose teeth to accidents or trauma. By the age of 44, an estimated <a title=\"Read more about Did You Know That by Age 50 Americans Have Lost an Average of 12 Teeth?\" href=\"https://www.bostonmagazine.com/sponsor-content/did-you-know-that-by-age-50-americans-have-lost-an-average-of-12-teeth/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Dental-Implant-Restoration\">69 percent of Americans have lost at</a> least one tooth.

They offer an alternative to dentures that need to be removed and cleaned. Implants give the patient an option that most closely resembles natural teeth.

When a patient has an issue with a dental implant, it is best to seek assistance from a professional. Here are some examples of circumstances that prompt the need for dental implant restorations:</p>\n<ul class=\"bullet-list\">\n<li><b>Poor oral hygiene:</b> It is essential to practice a consistent oral hygiene routine that includes brushing several times each day, flossing, using mouthwash, and being mindful of any issues with the mouth.</li>\n<li><b>Fractured dental implant:</b> If a dental implant is fractured, a dentist will need to remove the broken pieces and replace the implant.</li>\n<li><b>Loose dental implant:</b> Gum recession, gum disease, and failure of the dental implant to stabilize the jaw are just a few examples of what could cause a loose implant.  That is why it is crucial to seek prompt assistance when an implant is loose.</li>\n<li><b>Worn-down implant.</b>  Though dental implants can last decades, they are still prone to damage due to aging or issues such as teeth grinding.</li>\n<li><b>Cosmetic concerns.</b> Cosmetic issues such as discoloration can be improved through implant restoration as well.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>University Dental Associates encourages anyone who experiences complications with the stability, function, appearance, or health of their dental implant or the surrounding area to schedule an appointment to learn how implant restoration can help.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 dental-implant-restoration v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"dental-implant-restoration v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about when dental implant restoration is necessary\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"When a patient has an issue with a dental implant, it is best to seek assistance from a professional.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 dental-implant-restoration v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"dental-implant-restoration v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about overview of the implant restoration procedure\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"typical-dental-restoration-procedure\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Overview of the implant restoration procedure</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Each restoration procedure is unique.

Our team will answer any questions you may have. The dentist may recommend other dental treatments, such as gum disease treatment, bone grafting, and gum grafting.</p>\n<p>When replacing a dental implant, the current implant is typically removed and replaced with a screw-retained or cement-retained restoration. These are the two primary types of dental implant restorations. According to <a title=\"Read more about Screw-retained vs. cement-retained\" href=\"https://www.for.org/en/treat/treatment-guidelines/single-tooth/treatment-options/treatment-planning/screw-retained-vs-cement-retained\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Dental-Implant-Restoration\">FOR.org</a>, complication rates of both are nearly identical at around 3%. A screw-retained restoration provides secure retention and is easy to tighten if it becomes loose, but it may not be as cosmetically pleasing. Many consider cement-retained restorations to be more attractive, but they are often more difficult to adjust if issues with the implant develop. Our team can help you decide which type is best suited to you.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 dental-implant-restoration v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"dental-implant-restoration v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about overview of the implant restoration procedure\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"If complications develop with the dental implant and restoration is necessary, the dentist will conduct an oral examination to determine the severity of the issues and the underlying cause.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 dental-implant-restoration v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"dental-implant-restoration v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Dental Implant Restoration services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"dental-implant-restoration-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Dental Implant Restoration in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Dental-Implant-Restoration\">Dental Implant Restoration in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS dental-implant-restoration v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"dental-implant-restoration v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about after the procedure\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"do-after-implant-restoration-procedure\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">After the procedure</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>There is typically some discomfort following an implant restoration and aftercare instructions to follow.
