Missing one or more teeth can affect both the function and appearance of your smile. At Beecher Crossing Dental, we offer dental bridges as an effective solution to replace missing teeth, restore your bite, and improve your overall oral health.
What are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by "bridging" the gap between two teeth. The bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth, known as pontics, which are anchored in place by crowns attached to the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Dental bridges restore the natural look and function of your smile, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Types of Dental Bridges
- Traditional Bridges: These are the most common type, where the pontic is held in place by crowns on the adjacent teeth.
- Cantilever Bridges: Used when there is only one adjacent tooth next to the gap, supporting the bridge on one side.
- Maryland Bonded Bridges: These bridges use a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of the adjacent teeth, minimizing the need for crowns.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: These bridges are anchored to dental implants rather than natural teeth, providing greater stability and preserving the adjacent teeth.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
- Restored Function: Dental bridges allow you to chew and speak properly by filling the gaps left by missing teeth.
- Improved Appearance: Bridges help maintain the natural shape of your face and prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of position.
- Durable Solution: With proper care, dental bridges can last many years, providing a long-term solution for tooth replacement.
