Dental bridges are an alternative to partial dentures, and they serve both functional and aesthetic purposes, enabling you to eat and speak better as well as restoring your teeth’s appearance. A dental bridge is made to look like natural teeth, inserted between either natural teeth or implants on either side, and positioned over a space where two or more teeth once were. There are numerous materials that can be used to make a dental bridge, and your dentist will evaluate the best options based on your individual needs.
In addition to cosmetic benefits, dental bridges can greatly improve one’s ability to chew or speak properly again. Dental bridges are specially designed to fit securely in your mouth, helping to distribute the force of a bite evenly around your mouth. With dental bridges in place where there was previously a gap in your teeth, you can prevent misalignment over time of your other teeth.
Dental bridges require a few visits to be completed, but it will prove well worth it when you leave the office with a full smile again!
