2025-01-13T12:11:00-07:00

Though patients of any age may need a gum graft, they’re most common in people over 50 years of age. Overall, gum grafting has a high success rate of 90%.

What kind of dental bridge is best?

2025-01-13T12:23:57-07:00

When it comes to a dental bridge, AKA crown and bridge, we have four primary types to choose from.  A dental bridge replaces up to three teeth in a row. It’s comprised of crowns attached to false teeth, which we call pontics. Bridges are fixed appliances, meaning they can’t be removed by the patient. They require the same care that natural teeth need: brushing twice and flossing once daily, as well as visiting the dentist every six months for a checkup and cleaning. In Denver, the Metro Dental Care dentists will conduct a thorough oral health exam and take digital x-rays. [...]
