Missing even one tooth can cause numerous problems for your smile. Tooth loss causes diminished oral function, confidence loss, and bite misalignment. Good news! You don’t have to endure the consequences of missing teeth. Dental bridges are an excellent solution for missing teeth.
A dental bridge has custom-fitted prosthetic teeth called pontic, which fit seamlessly into the edentulous space. A traditional dental bridge remains secure with support from the neighboring teeth. However, the dentist places crowns on the support teeth to ensure your bridge doesn’t slip or move out. Dental bridges fill toothless gaps and restore oral function and appearance to their prime state.
Replacing front teeth can be tricky because they are the pillar of your smile. Dental bridges are a popular solution for this reason—they not only restore the functionality of the teeth but are crafted to closely match the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth.
Our dental bridges are created from natural-looking materials like porcelain and ceramics, which ensures a seamless look that blends with your smile and retains facial symmetry. Additionally, we design and fit your bridges with a skilled touch to ensure they align perfectly, providing a look that feels as natural as it is functional.
Patients love dental bridges because they don’t need any special care. Dental bridges are cared for like you do for your natural teeth. So, to ensure your bridge looks its best, brush your teeth twice daily for at least two minutes. Also, floss your teeth to remove plaque and food debris from areas your toothbrush can’t reach.
No matter how well you clean your teeth, don’t forget about routine dental visits. During these check-ups, the dentist inspects the health of your bridges and cleans areas of your mouth that your home tools can’t access. Lastly, avoid chewing hard substances and invest in a personalized nightguard if you chronically grind (brux) your teeth.
Dental bridges are an excellent solution for tooth loss when you need a quick, non-surgical restoration and dentures aren’t an option. When expertly placed, dental bridges offer remarkable benefits.
