Dental Bridges
What are Dental Bridges?
Think of dental bridges as architectural marvels for your mouth. They work by anchoring to surrounding teeth or dental implants, and suspending replacement teeth – known as pontics – in the gap left by missing ones. Made from materials like porcelain, zirconia, or metal, bridges:
- Fill the void: Providing a natural-looking replacement for missing teeth, restoring your smile’s completeness and aesthetics.
- Restore function: Allowing you to chew, speak, and smile with renewed confidence and comfort.
- Prevent bone loss: When teeth are missing, the jawbone can begin to deteriorate. Bridges prevent this by distributing chewing forces across the supporting teeth or implants.
- Protect surrounding teeth: Gaps left by missing teeth can cause remaining teeth to shift and misalign. Bridges prevent this, safeguarding your overall oral health.
Why Choose a Dental Bridge?
The benefits of bridging the gap in your smile extend far beyond just aesthetics
Improve chewing and speaking
Missing teeth can make it difficult to chew efficiently and enunciate clearly. Bridges restore these functions for comfortable and confident interaction.
Close unsightly gaps
Restore the visual harmony of your smile, boosting your confidence and self-esteem.
Prevent tooth misalignment
When teeth are missing, remaining teeth can drift and crowd the gap. Bridges keep your teeth where they belong, safeguarding your oral health.
Preserve jawbone health
Bone loss around missing teeth can lead to facial collapse and further dental problems. Bridges prevent this by maintaining structural integrity.
