Dental Bridges
Why Dental Bridges
Dental bridges literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. Although the cosmetic effect of missing teeth is often of concern, the greater issue is the ability to chew food, maintain healthy gums and when teeth surrounding the gap start to drift.
Dental bridges provide the solution. A dental bridge is a procedure that uses a crown, also known as a ‘pontic’ and fuses it between two porcelain crowns to fill the empty space. The crowns holding the pontic’s in place are attached to the teeth either side of the gap, replacing the missing tooth/teeth and giving you back a smile with no gaps.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Bridges?
Bridges can:
- Restore your smile
- Restore the ability to properly chew and speak
- Maintain the shape of your face
- Distribute the forces in your bite properly by replacing missing teeth
- Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position
Our technicians are highly skilled in cosmetic dentistry and are able to create the illusion that the missing tooth emerges from the gum just like a natural tooth to ensure no one will know that you ever had a tooth missing.
