A dental bridge is named because it is designed to bridge gaps in the jaw.
If you are missing a tooth, seeking prompt treatment is very important. Contact us today.
In the absence of a tooth, surrounding teeth will slowly begin to shift out of place to fill the void.
This may result in malocclusion, which can cause discomfort, speech impediments and TMJ disorder.
Placing a bridge to fill the gap helps to prevent these symptoms from occurring.
A dental bridge consists of an artificial tooth known as a pontic and two anchoring dental crowns.
Typically, a crown exists on either side of the pontic. Book online.
These prosthetics are placed over the teeth on both sides of the gap to secure the bridge in place.
To ensure that no bacteria build up between the pontic and the gum tissue, the false tooth is usually secured in place to the gum with dental cement.
A dental bridge provides an effective means of treating a missing tooth, non-surgically.
