Dental bridges offer an alternative to both dental implants and traditional dentures for patients who have missing teeth. This option can be ideal for individuals with one or more teeth that are missing in the same area. The large gap between the existing teeth can be quite literally “bridged” with custom-designed porcelain teeth. The replacement teeth are cemented permanently in place using dental crowns on the teeth that are on opposite sides of the space. This ultimately produces a very stable result that enhances dental function and aesthetics. There are several different types of dental bridges available, and our dentist can talk with you about the options that are best for your individual needs and goals.
