Bridges

Bridges

Looking to replace missing teeth? Dental bridges may be the solution for you! They serve both practical and aesthetic purposes, enabling you to eat and speak better while restoring the appearance of your teeth.

What are Bridges?

Dental bridges are permanent appliances made up of fused pieces that fit into the open space left by your missing tooth or teeth. They are typically made of artificial teeth, called pontics, which are anchored to neighboring teeth or dental implants for support and stability.

Types of Dental Bridges

At Perfect Smile Doc, we offer several types of bridges to restore your smile:

Traditional Fixed Bridge

This common bridge has crowns on either side of the false teeth that span the gap left by your missing tooth. The crowns anchor the bridge in place.

Maryland Bridge

This type of bridge uses metal frameworks with wings bonded to the back of your teeth on either side of the gap instead of crowns. A Maryland bridge is often used for patients who are missing their front teeth.

Implant-Supported Bridge

Dental implants can be surgically embedded into the jawbone to support the bridge pontics. This is a great option if you have multiple missing teeth.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

Bridges have many benefits for your health and appearance. They can:

• Restore your natural smile and ability to speak clearly
• Maintain facial structure and prevent bone loss
• Allow you to chew efficiently
• Stop adjacent teeth from shifting into the empty space
