What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a prosthetic device used to fill the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth (pontics) that are anchored in place by dental crowns on the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Dental bridges are custom-designed to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, providing a seamless, natural-looking solution for missing teeth.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
- Restores Appearance: A dental bridge fills the gap left by missing teeth, improving the appearance of your smile.
- Improves Chewing and Speaking: Missing teeth can make it difficult to chew or speak properly. A dental bridge restores full functionality, allowing you to eat and speak with ease.
- Prevents Shifting Teeth: When a tooth is missing, neighboring teeth may shift into the gap, leading to misalignment. A dental bridge helps maintain the proper alignment of your teeth.
- Permanent Solution: Dental bridges, when properly cared for, provide a long-lasting solution for tooth replacement.
