Our teeth can naturally weaken as we age, but tooth loss doesn’t have to be an inevitable part of aging. .
However, if it occurs, you should seek professional help to address the issue and ensure the continued functionality of your mouth.
If you’re missing one or more teeth, you’re likely aware of the impact on your appearance and dental well-being. Your teeth work together in daily functions like eating and talking and we ensure any dental procedures blend seamlessly.
Missing teeth can disrupt these functions, making it essential to explore tooth replacement options.
So, that’s where dental bridges come into the picture, offering practical solutions to restore your oral health and appearance.
In cases where dental damage seems irreversible, we use porcelain or porcelain-fused-to-gold crowns to rejuvenate your smile. Our versatile techniques allow us to seamlessly replace missing teeth, create picture-perfect smiles, and restore full bit function. Our reputation is built on the remarkable transformations we achieve using effective techniques. These treatments offer lasting solutions for significant dental issues, often lasting up to 20 to 30 years – as close to permanent as dental treatments can get.
A dental bridge, also known as a fixed partial denture, is designed to fill the gap created by missing teeth, serving multiple purposes, including the following:
Bridges come in two varieties:
During the first appointment, our dentists prepare the teeth on either side of the gap by removing some enamel and dentin.
Impressions of the teeth are taken and sent to a lab, where the bridge is meticulously crafted to ensure a precise fit and alignment with the opposing tooth.
Fixed bridges are attached to the natural teeth adjacent to the gap left by the missing tooth. A pontic, or false tooth, takes the place of the lost tooth. Dental crowns, cemented onto natural teeth, provide essential support for the bridge.
