What 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.

St. Apollonia Dental, formally Dental Associates of Troy, was established in 1983. In January 2004, our practice moved from Troy to our new modern facility in Sterling Heights. We renamed our practice at that time to St. Apollonia Dental in honor of the Patron Saint of Dentistry. Here at St. Apollonia Dental, we offer state of the art technology and techniques in a warm, clean, and family-friendly office. Patient comfort and pain free delivery are top priorities, as is prompt service. We know your time is valuable and we strive to stay on time and not keep our patients waiting.
Most dental procedures can be completed under one roof. We welcome all patients including children, adults, geriatrics, and patients with disabilities. In short, our mission is to provide excellent service in a cheerful, honest and painless environment.
We love what we do and would appreciate your feedback in our review section.
