Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are a reliable solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. They not only enhance the appearance of your smile but also improve the functionality of your bite and prevent neighboring teeth from shifting into the empty gum space. If you have missing teeth, dental bridges can play a crucial role in maintaining your mouth’s overall health.

The Importance of Dental Bridges

Your dentist may recommend a dental bridge if you have a tooth that has fallen out or one that never emerged. Gaps left by missing teeth can cause the remaining teeth to rotate or shift into the open space, leading to issues such as:

• Problems with your bite
• Gum disease
• Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder

Advantages of Dental Bridges

Dental bridges offer numerous benefits, including:

• Restore Your Jaw’s Optimal Function: Ensures your bite functions correctly, allowing you to chew and speak effectively.
• Maintain the Shape of Your Face: Prevents facial sagging and maintains your facial structure.
• Fix Problems with Your Bite: Corrects misalignment caused by missing teeth, improving overall dental health.
• Improve Your Speech and Eating: Enhances your ability to speak clearly and eat comfortably without gaps.
• Give You a More Confident Smile: Boosts your self-esteem by filling gaps and restoring the natural look of your smile.

How Do Dental Bridges Work?

Dental bridges span the space where teeth are missing and are crafted from materials such as porcelain, zirconia, gold, or a combination of these. They are securely cemented to the neighboring natural teeth or dental implants. Once placed, only your dentist can remove them. With proper oral hygiene practices, dental bridges can last between 20 to 30 years, providing long-term benefits and durability.
