Nothing affects your self confidence like missing teeth in your smile. Genetics or accidents can cause missing teeth, and there are ways to fix the problem. One of those dental procedures are dental bridges.
They are called bridges for a reason; dental bridges bridge the gap between one or more missing teeth.
How is the bridge made? Two crowns are placed on either side of the missing tooth or teeth. A false tooth/teeth is then placed in between. These are false teeth that can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination. Bridges are supported by natural teeth or implants.
Bridges can:
- Restore your smile
- Restore the ability to properly chew and speak
- Maintain the shape of your face
- Distribute the forces in your bite properly by replacing missing teeth
- Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position
