What is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a series of crowns fused together to hold one or more false teeth. A dental bridge “bridges” the gap between teeth due to missing teeth or large gaps between teeth.

Benefits of a Dental Bridge

Dental bridges do not drill into the gum like dental implants, offering a less painful alternative to replacing missing teeth. It is important to fill gaps from missing teeth because it could cause your teeth to move, causing changes to your bite. You might also benefit from the esthetic improvement including:

  • Appearance of your smile
  • Speaking ability
  • Keeping the shape of your face
  • Distribute bite forces equally

How many missing teeth can a Dental Bridge replace?

A dental bridge uses your existing or an implant tooth to attached the bridge to. The more teeth a dental bridge covers the more unstable it can become. Your dentist might recommend adding a tooth implant to help support several missing teeth. Talk to our South Fallsburg dentist about what is the best option for your situation.

FAQ’s

Should I get teeth whitening kits from the store?2022-04-19T13:00:20-04:00
In-store whitening kits could help with light staining for a short period of time. Professional teeth whiteners are safe and much more effective in a brighter and longer lasting smile. Another advantage of professional teeth whitening is it is done under the supervision of a dental professional. In most cases, it is worth the extra cost for long-lasting and safe results. Teeth whitening is safe when done correctly.
