Dental bridges are one of the popular restorative options available to people with missing teeth. In a dental bridge procedure, 2 crowns are placed on each side of the gap created by the missing tooth/teeth. A false tooth/teeth, usually made of porcelain, is attached to the crowns to fill
in the gap created by the missing tooth/teeth. For many people, this procedure is a viable option compared to dental implants. From a cosmetic
perspective, when dental bridges are properly fitted and placed, they will look just like natural teeth and will significantly improve a patient’s
overall smile.

As great as the cosmetic benefits of dental bridges are, the long-term functional and health benefits can be even greater for most patients. The
advantages of restorative dental bridges are:

  • Maintains the natural shape of your face by reducing the risk of bone loss
  • Prevents teeth from shifting out of position
  • Improves chewing and speaking
  • A more secure tooth replacement option as dental bridges are permanently fixed
  • With proper care, dental bridges can last up to 10 years

 

At Pinnacle Dental Group, we believe that because each patient’s needs are unique, customized treatment planning is required to deliver the best possible outcome.
