Dental BridgesAn Overview
A patient with one or more missing teeth may choose to restore their smile using a dental bridge. A dental bridge allows our patients to eat and speak normally without the need for special oral hygiene.
Claremont Dental Institute uses state-of-the-art digital imaging and design software to create high-quality, life-like dental bridges for the replacement of missing teeth. Modern dental materials mimic the enamel of human teeth, creating a flawless replacement for missing teeth.
Our team of skilled dentists uses their artistic eye, precision, and skill to design refined dental bridges that will fit comfortably. We will help you improve the overall appearance and function of your smile.
In addition to strengthening a damaged tooth, bridges and crowns can be used to improve a tooth’s appearance, shape, alignment, and dental occlusion (bite). Gaps left by missing teeth can cause the remaining teeth to shift, resulting in a bad bite. Bridges and crowns help prevent this from happening.
The appearance of your smile is essential to living your best life. Missing or damaged teeth can cause you to hide your smile and may impact your quality of life. Missing teeth can also hurt your self-esteem as well as your oral health.
Replacing missing teeth with quality dental restorations improves the function of the bite and can prevent bone loss and damage to the jaw.
Why should I replace my missing teeth using a dental bridge?
Missing teeth can cause a number of problems including difficulty in eating, speaking, and affect the look of your smile. Replacing missing teeth with a dental bridge is an effective and long-lasting solution to restore your smile and improve your oral health.
A traditional dental bridge is a dental prosthesis that our dentist office uses to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of two crowns that fit on either side of the gap left by the missing tooth or teeth, and are connected by one or more false teeth called pontics. Our dentist secures the traditional dental bridge in place with cement or metal clasps.
A dental bridge can help restore your smile, improve your ability to chew food properly, prevent gum disease and reduce stress on remaining natural teeth.
It’s important to consult with our Claremont dentist to discuss if this treatment option is right for you. Our dentist will be able to explain the procedure in detail as well as provide information about any potential risks associated with it. We will help you make an informed decision about replacing your missing teeth using a dental bridge.
