BRIDGE THE GAP CREATED BY ONE OR MORE MISSING TEETH

When a tooth is lost, a space is left that can be unsightly, cause difficulty with chewing, or result in the movement of adjacent teeth. There are many options for filling these spaces, including implants, dentures, and dental bridges. If you have lost one or two teeth but would prefer not to wear a denture, you may wish to consider a bridge. Bridges are a series of crowns joined together to close the space left by a missing tooth. They are permanent and, once bonded into place, look and feel similar to natural teeth.

Bridges can be supported by natural teeth or by implants. At Example Dental Clinic, we will assess the health of your gums and supporting teeth to ensure they are suitable for treatment and will take appropriate measures if they are not. We will discuss all of your options with you to help you maintain a healthy mouth and a beautiful smile with a well-fitting, natural-looking bridge.

ADVANTAGES OF HAVING A DENTAL BRIDGE

Not removable

A bridge is fixed in your mouth, so you do not have to worry about removing it for cleaning, as you would with a denture.

Long lasting

Studies have shown that fixed bridgework, like individual crowns, is predictable, durable, and can last a considerable length of time.

Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position

Whenever a tooth is lost, the surrounding teeth tend to shift, tilt, or drift into the space. A dental bridge can help prevent unwanted movement of nearby teeth.

Dental bridges help you speak properly

During speech, your tongue pushes against the back of your upper teeth to achieve proper pronunciation. Missing teeth can quickly affect the way you speak.
