Roundhouse Bridges in Sterling Heights, MI

Roundhouse Bridge in Sterling Heights, MI

Roundhouse Bridge in Sterling Heights, MIWhat exactly is a roundhouse bridge? It is a complete set of teeth supported by dental implants. There is no plastic covering the roof of the mouth or any other parts of the mouth. There are two types of roundhouse bridges: semi-removable and fixed.

Semi-removable roundhouse bridges can only be removed by the dentist. They are removed at a scheduled checkup appointment, cleaned, and are then put back in place by the dentist.

A fixed roundhouse is cemented permanently in place and cannot be removed. This type requires the patient to be more meticulous with their home care, but offers a less bulky restoration and the closest fit to natural teeth.

Both prostheses have their benefits and their shortcomings. I will cover more on this in future blogs.
