Dental Bridges

When faced with the loss of a single tooth or multiple consecutive teeth, a dental bridge may be a good solution to regain your smile’s full functionality and aesthetics. Dental bridges are fixed dental restorations, meaning they are nonremovable, and work to provide a stable and long-lasting result for your smile. This restoration consists of one or more artificial teeth held in place by two custom-made dental crowns on either side of the prosthetic teeth. These crowns are affixed to the adjacent teeth or dental implants, creating a secure anchor for the artificial tooth or teeth and ensuring it remains firmly in position.

The process of obtaining a dental bridge is typically completed in just two visits to our dental practice. Your bridge is carefully designed to fit your teeth and smile perfectly, providing you with a beautiful and natural-looking final result. Once in place, a well-crafted dental bridge can serve you effectively for many years, restoring not only the appearance but also the function and health of your smile.

Our experienced dentists may recommend a dental bridge to address a variety of concerns, such as:

• Restoration of Normal Functions: Dental bridges can help you speak, eat and chew without difficulty, enhancing your daily life.
• Bite Stress Reduction: They alleviate excess stress on your bite, preventing potential issues associated with uneven bite distribution.
• Facial Shape and Volume Enhancement: Dental bridges can improve the shape and volume of your face, restoring a more youthful appearance.
• Removal of Removable Dentures: They replace removable partial dentures, offering a more stable and comfortable alternative.
• Preventing Teeth Misalignment: Bridges also prevent your remaining natural teeth from shifting out of their proper positions.
• Enhancing Smile Aesthetics: Bridges contribute to the overall enhancement of your smile.

Our dedicated dentists and team will work closely with you to determine if a custom dental bridge is the most suitable option to restore your smile following tooth loss.
