There is one treatment in particular that we often recommend when a patient is missing multiple teeth. Read on to learn more about dental bridges and how getting one could improve your quality of life.

What is a Dental Bridge?

Just as a bridge on a roadway can connect two pieces of land, a dental bridge acts in much the same way. When a patient is missing teeth, a dental bridge is an excellent way to replace the teeth and restore their function as well. A dental bridge is an artificial tooth structure that fills in a gap where teeth are missing, have been extracted by a dentist, have experienced severe trauma, or are experiencing severe decay. It is an appliance that usually has a crown on either side and one or more prosthetic teeth in the middle. Once the bridge is fabricated in the lab to meet your specific measurements, it is placed by anchoring it to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap.

What are the Benefits of a Dental Bridge?

Many patients experience embarrassment or feel self-conscious when they are missing multiple teeth. A dental bridge is an excellent way to restore your teeth and improve your confidence in their appearance. Many patients notice an improvement in the way they are able to chew their food and are able to enjoy favorites they may have been avoiding for some time.
