Fill Missing Spaces with a Natural Looking Bridge
Missing teeth can impact more than just your smile—they can make it harder to eat, speak, and feel confident. A dental bridge offers a simple, effective way to restore your smile by filling the gap left by missing teeth. This restoration not only improves your appearance but also helps maintain your bite and prevents neighboring teeth from shifting out of place.
Each bridge is custom-made to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth in both color and shape, ensuring a comfortable and natural look. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, a dental bridge can help you enjoy a complete, confident smile again.
How Dental Bridges Work
A dental bridge is a custom restoration made up of artificial teeth—called pontics—secured by the surrounding teeth or dental implants. It’s designed to look and feel natural, restoring your ability to eat and speak with ease. A bridge also prevents neighboring teeth from shifting and helps maintain your facial structure.
Exploring Different Kinds of Dental Bridges
Depending on your specific situation, your dentist may suggest one of the following types of bridges:
Traditional Bridge
This common option uses crowns on the teeth beside the gap to support the replacement tooth. It’s durable and ideal when the surrounding teeth are healthy and strong.
Cantilever Bridge
Recommended when there’s only one natural tooth next to the missing space. The false tooth is anchored to that single supporting tooth.
Maryland Bridge
This type uses a metal or porcelain framework attached to the back of nearby teeth to hold the replacement tooth in place. It requires minimal or no alteration of your natural teeth.
Ready to Bring Back Your Beautiful Smile
Dental bridges offer a safe, long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth and maintaining your oral health. If you’re ready to restore your smile, talk to your dentist about which type of bridge is best suited for you.
