Bridges

Bridges

Your teeth help you chew, speak and smile. Having one or more missing teeth is often an uncomfortable situation that may prevent you from smiling. A dental bridge is an excellent way to replace missing teeth and fill in unsightly gaps so you can smile again.

The bridge replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth and “bridges” the gap where one or more teeth used to be. Bridges can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain or a combination of these materials and are usually attached to surrounding teeth for support.

Beyond the obvious gaps in your smile a missing tooth can result in other serious dental problems including: a change in your bite, tooth decay, gum disease, headaches and possibly loss of additional teeth. If you are missing one or more teeth, Dr. Nguyen or Dr. Tran may recommend a bridge to get your smile back on track.
