Enhance Your Bite and Smile With Dental Bridges
Missing teeth can affect how you speak, eat, and smile—but dental bridges provide a dependable solution. By filling the spaces left by missing teeth, bridges help restore your bite, enhance your appearance, and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting.
Custom-designed to match the shape and color of your natural teeth, dental bridges look and feel completely natural. Whether you’re replacing one tooth or several, this treatment can restore both comfort and confidence to your everyday life.
Eat, Speak, and Smile With Confidence
A dental bridge is a set of artificial teeth, called pontics, anchored either to the adjacent natural teeth or to dental implants. Designed for a natural look and strong function, bridges make it easier to eat and speak comfortably. They also prevent neighboring teeth from shifting and help preserve the shape of your face.
Different Types of Dental Bridges
Your dentist may recommend different types of dental bridges depending on your specific needs:
- Traditional Bridge: This common option uses crowns on the teeth adjacent to the gap to support the replacement tooth. It’s strong and ideal for patients with healthy teeth on both sides of the missing tooth.
- Cantilever Bridge: Designed for situations where only one tooth is available next to the gap, the replacement tooth is anchored to that single supporting tooth.
- Maryland Bridge: This bridge uses a metal or porcelain framework to support the replacement tooth. The frame is bonded to the back of the neighboring teeth, requiring minimal or no alteration to those teeth.
