Benefits of Choosing a Dental Bridge

A dental bridge offers several significant benefits as a restorative solution. One of which is their ability to replace up to four consecutive teeth at a time. This not only restores your smile but also prevents surrounding teeth from shifting inward, which can occur when a gap is present. By filling this space, a bridge helps maintain proper tooth alignment, enhancing both the appearance of your smile and the function of your bite.

The materials used for dental bridges are high-quality and durable, designed to withstand daily use. With proper care, a dental bridge can last a decade or longer, providing a long-term solution for missing teeth. Additionally, the custom fabrication process ensures that the bridge is color-matched to your natural teeth, allowing it to blend seamlessly into your smile. In turn, dental bridges offer a lasting and visually appealing result.

Who Needs a Dental Bridge?

If you’re missing one or more teeth in a row, a dental bridge might be right for you. Candidates typically have healthy surrounding teeth or implants that can support the bridge. As mentioned above, standard bridges rely on neighboring teeth for support, while implant-supported bridges use dental implants for stability.

Some patients may prefer a traditional bridge because it does not involve oral surgery and comparably, is a more accelerated process. Others may opt for an implant-supported bridge, especially if they desire a more permanent and stable solution. However, dental implant surgery may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those with certain health conditions or who wish to avoid the higher cost and time commitment involved with healing. Our dentists can help determine which option is best for your unique needs.
