Dental Bridges

Don’t let a missing tooth hold you back from smiling with confidence. A dental bridge offers a permanent solution to filling the gap, leaving you with a complete and beautiful smile.

What Is a Dental Bridge and How Does It Work?

A dental bridge is a prosthetic device that dentists use to replace one or more missing teeth. It’s usually made up of two dental crowns and one or more artificial teeth, also known as “pontics,” anchored to the crowns. While the crowns are installed over the natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap, the pontics fill the space where the missing teeth are.

What Are the Benefits of Using a Dental Bridge?

• A Smile You Can Be Proud Of

  A dental bridge gives you the confidence to smile. No more hiding your teeth or feeling self-conscious about gaps. With dental bridgework, you can smile confidently, knowing that your teeth look healthy and complete.

• A Better Bite

  While missing teeth can cause issues with biting and chewing, a dental bridge can restore your bite’s proper function. Besides making eating more enjoyable, it reduces your risk of jaw pain and other problems resulting from a misaligned bite.

• Speak with Ease and Clarity

  Missing teeth can lead to speech difficulties and decreased confidence in speaking because it impacts how you articulate words and sounds. Since a dental bridge fills in these gaps and restores the natural alignment of your teeth, it improves speech clarity.

• Stable Bite

  When a tooth is missing, it causes problems with your bite as surrounding teeth shift and move into the gap. A dental bridge keeps your teeth in their correct positions and eliminates the need for more extensive dental work in the future.
