What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a prosthetic tooth replacement, made of durable, tooth-colored porcelain. The bridge is custom-created to fit perfectly in the gap, and beautifully match the look of the rest of your teeth – no one will know it’s a restoration. The porcelain bridge is then bonded to the teeth on either side of the gap, making it stable, and preventing adjacent teeth from moving or rotating.
Is a Dental Bridge right for me?
There are numerous benefits from dental bridges – aesthetic, functional, and health. A porcelain bridge might be a good option for you if:
- You are missing a tooth or multiple teeth
- Teeth are moving or rotating on either side of a gap, causing discomfort
- You desire to chew normally again, and enjoy the foods you love
- You would like a more stable alternative to a denture
- You want your restoration to look and function like your natural teeth
- You wish to preserve your bite and healthy jawbone
- You want to regain confidence in your smile and yourself
