Dental Bridges

Dental bridges can fill holes in your smile by literally bridging the gap between missing teeth. Most dental bridges are made of a false tooth that is held together by two crowns, which is then attached to the teeth on each side of the gaps. Dental bridges are comfortable and durable, and can only be removed by the dentist.

In order to place dental bridges, the teeth surrounding the gap need to be re-shaped to accommodate the crowns. Once the teeth are shaped, an impression is made and the crowns and bridge are bonded and designed to fit comfortably in your mouth. The final result is a natural, beautiful smile with no gaps.

If you are missing one or more teeth, you may be a good candidate for dental bridges. Filling gaps with dental bridges not only benefits the look of your smile, but also your health. Gaps can cause surrounding teeth to drift, making chewing uncomfortable and difficult. But even more serious problems can result from missing teeth, including tooth decay and gum disease.
