What Are Dental Bridges Used For?

No Comments

The occurrence of tooth decay or oral trauma could result in a lost tooth, requiring restorative dentistry to replace the missing tooth and restore your smile. Dental bridges are a very popular option for tooth replacement. We invite you to learn more about what dental bridges do to replace a missing tooth and improve your smile.

This singular appliance uses a false tooth or teeth to bridge an empty space left by a lost tooth, and dental crowns are fused on either side to attach to neighboring teeth to anchor the bridge so that it is stable and can look and feel like a natural tooth.

Dental bridges have become a very popular solution for tooth loss because they offer a very natural appearance that helps to improve your smile. Furthermore, they offer a lot of stability for your smile and enhance the bite force by correcting a misaligned bite so that the other teeth and jaw muscles don’t need to take on the extra stress of chewing.
