Bridges

Are you embarrassed about a missing tooth?

Bridges are a great option for permanently replacing a missing tooth. Addressing missing teeth is important because it helps keep your remaining teeth from shifting. This shifting, over time, can cause excessive damage or wear to your teeth.

The teeth on either side of the space are prepared similar to a crown and a single piece is fabricated to cover the remaining teeth and the empty space, which is permanently cemented in place. It’s a good option if the teeth on either side of the space already have large restorations or cavities. Otherwise, you may consider an implant. If you don’t have adequate bone or if your health does not allow you to get an implant, a bridge is an excellent choice.
