Dental bridges replace missing teeth. They can restore chewing function, enhance your appearance and improve your oral health. A dental bridge consists of crowns (that fit over your natural teeth on either side of the space) and artificial teeth (that “bridge the gap” in your smile).

Why do I need a dental bridge?

When you have a missing tooth or missing teeth, it can affect you in a number of ways. A dental bridge can address those changes, including:

• 1. Restoring your smile
• 2. Restoring the ability to properly chew
• 3. Restoring your speech and pronunciation
• 4. Maintaining the shape of your face
• 5. Re-adjusting your bite to properly distribute the force when you chew
• 6. Preventing your remaining teeth from moving out of the correct position
