Why You May Need Dental Bridges

Missing teeth can affect more than just your appearance—they can disrupt your bite, speech, and ability to chew comfortably. Dental bridges offer a fixed solution that fills gaps and prevents neighboring teeth from shifting out of place. Whether you’ve lost one tooth or several, a dental bridge can restore harmony to your smile and support long-term oral health.

It’s often recommended in the following situations:

  • One or More Missing Teeth: Fills the space with a lifelike replacement.

  • Preventing Tooth Shifting: Keeps surrounding teeth from drifting into the gap.

  • Improving Bite Alignment: Restores proper chewing balance.

  • Enhancing Speech: Helps pronounce words more clearly.

The benefits of dental bridges include:

  • Natural-Looking Results: Custom-shaded to match your existing teeth.

The Type Of Bridge Selected Depends On Your Needs

Dental bridges come in several types, each suited to different clinical needs. We begin with a comprehensive examination and discuss your options based on the location of the missing tooth, the health of surrounding teeth, and your esthetic goals.

Common options include:

  • Traditional Bridges: Supported by crowns placed on the adjacent teeth.

  • Cantilever Bridges: Used when only one neighboring tooth is available for support.

  • Maryland Bridges: Uses a framework bonded to the back of adjacent teeth, ideal for front teeth.

  • Implant-Supported Bridges: Anchored by dental implants for added stability and no reliance on natural teeth.

Each bridge is custom-made for a perfect fit and natural appearance. We’ll guide you through every step of the process to ensure your restoration is comfortable, functional, and tailored to your individual needs.
