Bridges
A dental bridge is an effective solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. It works by “bridging” the gap created by the missing tooth or teeth, restoring both function and appearance.
The bridge consists of a crown that replaces the missing tooth, which is securely attached to crowns placed over the adjacent healthy teeth. These supporting crowns, called abutments, hold the replacement tooth or teeth firmly in place. Typically, a standard bridge is made up of three crowns—the central crown replaces the missing tooth, while the two on either side anchor it.
Dental bridges not only improve the aesthetics of your smile but also help maintain proper bite alignment, prevent remaining teeth from shifting, and support clear speech and efficient chewing. In cases where multiple teeth are missing, extended bridges can be designed to replace several teeth at once, providing a strong and durable restoration tailored to your dental needs.
Benefits of Dental Bridges:
- Rebuild and enhance your smile
- Restore proper chewing and clear speech
- Preserve the natural shape of your face
- Ensure even distribution of bite forces by filling gaps
- Prevent neighboring teeth from shifting out of place
