Dental Bridges and Bridge Repair
Dental
bridges are most often used when a patient is missing one or more teeth.
In such cases, a bridge is used to literally ‘bridge the gap’ between those
missing teeth.
Procedure for a Dental Bridge
The procedure for preparing a bridge is similar to preparing a crown. On the adjacent sides of the missing teeth, a crown is made and a prosthetic tooth spans the space between the teeth.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
Needles to say, missing teeth are very
unsightly! You may even look older, or less healthy to some. And they can
cause further problems with surrounding teeth.
A dental bridge can effectively address these issues by …
• Closing that
unsightly gap between teeth
• Not allowing neighboring teeth to drift out of place
• Enabling you to chew food more effectively
• Helping to maintain your face shape
• Restoring your smile
