Dental Bridge

Missing teeth can have a serious effect not only on your smile, but also on your oral health. Missing teeth can impact the alignment and integrity of your surrounding teeth, causing you further problems down the road. If not treated the teeth surrounding the gap begin to shift inward, creating a whole chain reaction of problems. Teeth use their neighbors for support, and, with one missing, they start to “fall.” As this worsens, the bite changes in response to the pressure. And missing teeth can also result in unwanted periodontal disease and decay.

Dental bridges can fill in the gaps where teeth are missing while helping to preserve the structure of your remaining teeth and bite. Dental bridges help our patients eat more comfortably and smile more confidently.
