If you are missing two or more teeth and wish to have them restored, then a dental bridge might be your best bet. A bridge consists of two or more crowns attached to each other. A bridge replaces the crown of a missing tooth but does not replace the root. Your dentist will smooth the affected teeth, and have a bridge made that fits your teeth, so that you can use it to speak and chew more easily. Bridges are extremely helpful in that they can help with tooth replacement, and preserve the teeth around your bridge so that you do not lose any more.
If you are missing several teeth in a row and think you may be a candidate for bridges, speak to a team member at Northwoods Dentistry and we will help you set up a professional consultation.
Benefits of getting a bridge:
- Restores functionality
- Maintain face shape
- Easier bite
- Prevents further infection
