FIXED DENTAL BRIDGES – A STABLE SOLUTION THAT RENEWS YOUR SMILE!
If you’ve lost teeth due to accident, injury, or gum disease, we can create a permanent bridge to easily restore your smile. A bridge will not only fill in the gap, but it will also prevent the repositioning of remaining teeth. Bridges can also correct a misaligned bite, improve chewing function and speech articulation, and provide internal structure for the face to give you a more youthful appearance.
What Is a Fixed Dental Bridge?
A bridge is a prosthetic tooth (or teeth) that attaches to one or both sides of teeth prepared with dental crowns. A fixed bridge is permanently joined onto the neighboring abutment teeth (crowned teeth), unlike a full or partial denture. The style of bridge we suggest will depend on the strength and health the abutment teeth, as well as the location of the gap in relation to the rest of your dentition. For a bridge that replaces many teeth, we may recommend a removable partial denture or prosthesis supported by dental implants (an implant-supported bridge). With proper care, a fixed bridge could last at least eight to 10 years. If you have questions about crown and bridgework or any other dental prosthetic, call us today. We will be happy to discuss your options and schedule an evaluation to get you smiling again!
