ELIMINATE UNSIGHTLY GAPS FROM MISSING TEETH WITH DENTAL BRIDGES

Have you lost one of your permanent adult teeth? Teeth can fall out for a variety of reasons, including trauma, bone loss and decay, but the gap they leave behind creates a serious problem. Without something to fill that gap, your teeth can begin to shift, causing discomfort and problems with your bite. A dental bridge is an excellent fix to this common problem.

WHAT IS A DENTAL BRIDGE?

A dental bridge is an option to deal with missing teeth. Instead of placing an implant in the gap, a bridge creates two crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap. These crowns hold a false tooth between them, which fills in the space creating, literally, a bridge that spans the gap created by the missing tooth.

HOW DENTAL BRIDGES HELP

Dental bridges restore the proper use of your mouth by restoring the function of your missing teeth. If the tooth is visible, a bridge can restore your smile. It also restores the ability to chew and speak properly, helps maintain your face's shape and properly distributes the force of your bite. Finally, a tooth bridge stops your natural teeth from shifting position.
