If you are missing one tooth or multiple teeth in a row, we may recommend a dental bridge to restore your smile. A dental bridge (called a pontic) is a fixed dental restoration that is held in place by the adjacent teeth on either side of the gap. The dental bridge is anchored in place through the use of two dental crowns, which are custom made to fit your smile and are placed on the teeth or dental implants next to the space left by the missing tooth. These crowns hold the artificial tooth in place to restore your smile, ensuring that your restoration will not easily shift or come loose. Although bridges can be made from a variety of materials such as gold, typically they’re made from porcelain to aesthetically blend in with your natural teeth. It typically requires only two visits to our practice to complete the dental bridge. Dental bridges are designed to last long and to restore the function, beauty, and health of your smile.
