Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is a treatment option that can fill the gaps left by missing teeth. A bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth called pontics that are held in place by dental crowns. The dental crowns are anchored to your existing healthy teeth on either side of the gap. At Healing Wings Dental, dental bridges can correct bite and speech problems caused by missing teeth.
 

The Dental Bridge Procedure

Your dentist will gently file down the adjacent teeth to make room for the dental bridge. A mold of your teeth will be taken and sent to a dental lab where your dental bridge will be custom-made. You will return to the office once it is ready for it to be inserted. The dental bridge is held in place by crowns seated on the adjacent teeth.
 

The Benefits of a Dental Bridge

A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration that can replace one or more missing teeth. A dental bridge can help restore your smile and prevent your other teeth from shifting out of place. It also prevents your teeth from changing position, which can lead to problems with your bite and TMJ.

The Types of Dental Bridges 

​

Traditional Bridge

For a traditional bridge, your dentist will prepare the teeth on each side of the gap. Then, your dentist will anchor the pontics, or false teeth, to dental crowns, which are placed on your natural teeth on each side of the bridge. Traditional bridges are bonded to the natural teeth with dental cement.
