Replace Missing Teeth with Long-Lasting Bridges
Gaps in your smile from missing teeth? Bridges are dental prosthetics that use neighbouring teeth for support. Strong enough to replace molars, bridges fill spaces effectively and restore your natural bite, helping maintain your jaw’s shape and structure. If you’re missing a tooth, bridges are a fantastic option to restore function and appearance!
How Do Bridges Work?
Traditional dental bridges rely on the support of good neighbours—the teeth on either side of the gap in your smile! Here’s how it works:
- Your dentist files down neighbouring teeth for crown placement
- A bridge is made, using two crowns joined by a replacement tooth
- The crowns are placed over the filed teeth and secured with cement
Some bridges are glued and secured behind the supporting teeth, eliminating the need for crowns. There are pros and cons to the various bridge options available. To determine the best course of treatment for your individual case, contact Dentisterie @ Casselman to book an appointment today!
