Bridges

Description:

A bridge is a fixed prosthesis that replaces one or more missing teeth, and is permanently cemented into place. The bridge restores your smile by filling the gap left by the missing tooth or teeth. It prevents remaining teeth from shifting into the gap, which could cause bite problems and/or jaw pain. Bridges are custom-made to match your natural teeth in color, shape and size.

The abutments, which are the anchoring teeth on either side of the gap, are prepared by your dentist. An impression is taken of the prepared teeth and the bridge is created to fit your mouth perfectly. The bridge is then placed over the abutments and cemented in place.

Dental bridges can be supported by natural teeth or by dental implants. Your dentist can help you decide which option is best for you.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that provide a permanent base for replacement teeth. Unlike dentures, bridges and crowns, dental implants do not slip or move in your mouth. They are permanent and stable.

Dental implants are made of titanium and other materials that are biocompatible with the human body. They act as an anchor for a replacement tooth or set of teeth.

After an implant is placed in your jawbone, it fuses with your natural bone and becomes a strong
