Restoring Your Smile and Bite
A dental bridge is an excellent solution for replacing missing teeth, helping to restore the appearance of your smile, and relieving stress on your bite. It is designed to bridge the gap where one or more teeth are missing, and it can improve your ability to chew, speak, and maintain a healthy bite.
How a Dental Bridge Works
A dental bridge consists of artificial teeth that fill the gap left by missing teeth. These replacement teeth are securely bonded to surrounding teeth for support, helping to restore both function and aesthetics. Bridges can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of materials, depending on your needs and preferences.
The Importance of a Healthy Foundation
The success of your dental bridge depends on the strength and health of the surrounding teeth, gums, and bone to which it is attached. Maintaining good oral hygiene and keeping your existing teeth and gums healthy are crucial to ensuring the long-term success of your bridge.
