All About
Dental Bridges
When a patient is missing one or more teeth, we will conduct a thorough oral evaluation and spend the necessary time to go over the best options. In many such situations, we may recommend a dental bridge. Also known as a partial denture, dental bridges are artificial teeth that can be connected to surrounding healthy teeth to fill in the empty spaces that are left behind by missing teeth.

Empty Spaces In The Mouth Create Major Health Risks
Having one or more missing teeth can make a person self-conscious about their appearance and detrimentally affect quality of life. They may forego social interactions or even avoid smiling big when in the presence of their own family members! However, the aesthetic consequences pale in comparison to the dangerous health hazards. Having missing teeth can also cause periodontal (gum) disease, jaw shrinkage, bone loss, and TMJ/TMD. Language skills can also be affected, making it difficult for a person to speak properly or be understood.
In these situations, dental bridges are an excellent option to reverse the medical risks, resolve the cosmetic concerns, and improve the patient’s quality of life. Anyone who is missing one or more teeth should get treatment right away, as the more time a person waits to replace missing teeth, the greater the risk of developing health issues that may be irreversible. We are here to help you resolve the problem of missing teeth once and for all. Simply reach out to us today to get this process started!
Schedule NowHow Does A Dental Bridge Work?
Dental bridges start by placing artificial crowns on healthy teeth to either side, with one or more custom-created prosthetic teeth in between to plug the space created by the missing tooth. Dental bridges then span a gap to connect one side of the space in a patient’s mouth to the other side. If you or a loved one is suffering from one or more missing teeth, reach out to us today to resolve this issue. It is one of the best decisions for your oral health that you can make!
Appointment RequestIf I Get A Dental Bridge, Will Others Notice I Have Artificial Teeth?
At the Dental Arts Center, we custom create prosthetic teeth in-house, with the highest level of quality and craftsmanship. Due to our unique process involving complete design control, we can guarantee that the artificial teeth we create for our patients will resemble natural teeth. Once the bridge is installed it is truly impossible to tell the difference between these teeth and natural teeth, so the only change others may notice is that you have no more missing teeth and are sporting a beautiful smile!
“Patients who receive dental bridges at our practice are absolutely amazed at how their smile (and sometimes faces) are completely transformed by this procedure. They are so happy to look in the mirror and see the results. This moment is truly special and makes us happy as well.“
