Bridges
If
you're missing one or more teeth, you may notice a difference in
chewing and speaking. There are options to help restore your smile.
Bridges
help maintain the shape of your face, as well as alleviating the
stress in your bite by replacing missing teeth. Sometimes called
a fixed partial denture, a bridge replaces missing teeth with artificial
teeth, looks great, and literally bridges the gap where one or more
teeth may have been. The restoration can be made from gold, alloys,
porcelain or a combination of these materials and is bonded onto
surrounding teeth for support.
Unlike
a removable bridge, which you can take out and clean, a fixed bridge
can only be removed by a dentist. An implant bridge attaches artificial
teeth directly to the jaw or under the gum tissue. Depending on
which type of bridge your dentist recommends, its success depends
on its foundation. So it's very important to keep your remaining
teeth healthy and strong.
