A dental bridge is a permanent tooth replacement solution. Your dentist anchors an artificial tooth to the natural teeth on either side of the gap, effectively forming a bridge over the space caused by missing teeth. This porcelain tooth replacement is attached to crowns on each side, which are then bonded to the adjacent teeth to hold the bridge in place. The result is instant gap correction with a fairly simple, non-surgical procedure.
For some, gaps in the teeth can be endearing, even beautiful. But for most, large gaps in the smile are sources of insecurity and even shame, causing people to smile, laugh less, and hide their teeth. In addition to aesthetic downsides, gaps left unattended can cause surrounding teeth to gradually shift to fill them in, resulting in a bad bite, increased risk of periodontal disease and temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ), and an aged appearance.
Depending on your case, Dr. Dani B. may recommend dental bridgework as a cost-effective way to fill gaps and spaces between the teeth and restore your smile. Porcelain bridges are matched by our in-house ceramist to the exact shade of your natural teeth and fitted perfectly for comfort, confidence, and a long-lasting smile to help you live your best life.
The visual effect of porcelain bridges can be transformational, taking years off your appearance. This gives your smile and face a more healthy, vibrant look. Porcelain bridges can help also prevent the risks of missing teeth and make it easier to maintain proper oral hygiene.
There are different types of dental bridges each suitable for different situations based on the location of the gap, the health of the teeth at the gap margins, the patient’s oral hygiene habits, and financial considerations. Request a consultation with Dr. Dani B. for a thorough examination to discuss your treatment options. If you have a large gap in your smile, don’t wait any longer to find a solution.
