Bridges are used to fill the cap created by one or more missing teeth. A bridge is composed of two or more crowns on either side of the gap. These two teeth are called abutment teeth with a false tooth in between known as a pontic. Either natural teeth or dental implants support bridges.
Missing teeth can have a devastating effect on the rest of your mouth. Speech may be affected, remaining teeth may shift, your bite is put under stress, and your entire face may even change shape. Bridges help your teeth and jaw work in harmony again ensuring prolonged oral health!
Speaking clearly can be difficult when teeth are missing. The use of a dental bridge will ensure a proper relationship with the anterior teeth and will help you speak properly.
Replacing your missing teeth should actually make eating easier! However, until you get used to your bridge, we recommend eating soft foods.
