Bridges

Gentle Dental Closes the Gap with Dental Bridges

Are your teeth loose, falling out or missing? If so, you’re likely to be a candidate for dental implants, or a dental bridge or tooth bridge to restore your smile. Those wide-open spaces from missing teeth can often diminish the appearance of even the most brilliant smile and cause other serious problems for the person’s bite and other teeth. Unfortunately for many people, loose or missing teeth are a reality. At Gentle Dental, we resolve those unwanted gaps with dental implants or dental bridges.

Dental bridges are designed to restore permanent missing teeth by bridging over the adjacent teeth with prosthetic replacement teeth. Tooth bridges are comprised of two crowns, which go on the teeth on either side of the space. In between the crowns, a natural-looking prosthetic tooth is inserted. These dental bridges are usually made from porcelain, gold, alloys or a combination of materials.

Tooth bridges are an effective technique in dentistry that has been used for years. Today, bridges continue to be a commonplace procedure thanks to the successful results. Dental implants are sometimes used to assist in holding a bridge in place and thereby can revive a beautiful smile, restore the integrity of the structure of the teeth and prevent teeth from shifting into other positions. When done right, a dental bridge lasts for many years making for a convenient, permanent solution that naturally falls into place.
