A bridge is one of the few options that you have when deciding how to deal with a missing tooth or teeth. The replacement of these missing teeth is necessary in order to maintain the proper mouth functions. Tooth loss can affect the way you eat, speak, and the alignment of other teeth in your mouth.
Types of Bridges
A bridge, by definition, is a link or connection between two permanent structures. A dental bridge is very similar in that it replacement teeth to the natural teeth on either side of the gap. This bridge acts as your new teeth, closing the gap and restoring your smile. This ensures that the bridge will support the normal functions of the mouth.
Dental bridges (replacement tooth) involve creating a crown for the tooth or implant on either side of the missing tooth, with a pontic in between. Our Patients enjoy bridges that are like-like in appearance.
