Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are an important resource for restoring your smile and oral health. If you’ve lost a tooth (or several teeth) due to an accident or other reason, or have had a tooth extracted due to severe decay, you may be considering a dental bridge.
A dental bridge is an artificial replacement for a missing tooth or teeth. It’s composed of two crowns on either side of the missing tooth, which are anchored to adjacent teeth or implants. This bridge then “bridges” the gap between the two points. The artificial tooth in the middle of the bridge is called a pontic.
A bridge fills a space that a tooth previously occupied and may be necessary to prevent shifting of the teeth that can lead to bite problems (occlusion) and/or jaw problems and resultant periodontal disease as well as to safeguard the integrity of existing teeth and help maintain a healthy, vibrant smile.
Dental bridges offer a number of benefits. They restore your smile, improve your ability to speak and chew, and help to prevent your other teeth from shifting out of position. Bridges also help to support the structure of your face and jaw. To determine if a bridge is right for your situation, call the Beechwold Dental Care Clintonville office to schedule consultation at (614)396-6850
