Bridges
Dental bridges are a restorative dental treatment used to replace one or more missing teeth. They are anchored to supporting teeth, known as abutments, located on one or both sides of the gap left by the missing teeth. Dental bridges are designed as a permanent solution and should not be confused with dentures. The artificial teeth in a dental bridge, called pontics, can be made from various materials, commonly alloys, ceramics, or porcelain.
Before placing a dental bridge, your dentist Cochrane will assess the strength of the abutment teeth to ensure they can support the bridge securely. There are different types of dental bridges, with traditional bridges being the most common. In this type, a crown is attached to either the abutment teeth or a dental implant, holding the pontic in place and filling the gap created by the missing teeth.

Dental Bridge Replace missing tooth
A dental bridge offers several clear benefits in replacing missing teeth. Cosmetically, it restores your smile and enhances confidence. Speech can also be improved since gaps are filled, aiding in clearer articulation. Eating becomes easier and more efficient with restored full dental function.
Moreover, there are less obvious yet significant advantages to having a bridge. It helps redistribute the force of your bite, correcting the imbalance caused by missing teeth. Over time, untreated gaps can lead to neighbouring teeth shifting position, affecting both the form and function of your mouth.
If you are missing teeth, a dental bridge may be an excellent solution for you. Contact us at Grande Dentistry today to schedule an appointment for us to evaluate your needs.
