A bridge is a custom made restoration that may be recommended by your dentist if you are missing one or more teeth. Gaps left by missing teeth may cause remaining teeth to shift or rotate into the empty spaces, which may result in a bad bite. The imbalance caused by missing teeth can also lead to gum disease and temperomandibular joint disorders.
A bridge would span the space where the teeth are missing. Bridges are cemented to the natural teeth surrounding the empty space and these teeth serve as anchors for the bridge. As with crowns, you have a choice of materials for bridges.
There are many different options for the materials used when making bridges. Porcelain bridges are the most popular as they contain no metal, giving cosmetic advantages over the traditional metal or gold crown.
Bridges are false teeth designed to bridge gaps created by tooth loss. Bridges are fitted to the surrounding teeth, which holds the bridge in place and allows for normal eating, drinking, and talking.
Bridges can be made from a variety of materials, generally porcelain. They contain no metal, and their natural appearance allows them to blend in seamlessly with the surrounding natural teeth.
Bridges can be a great for patients with gaps between their teeth, and serve to restore both function and appearance. They are also important in preventing dental issues associated with tooth loss, such as gum disease and joint disorders. Speak to your dentist today to find out if bridges are right for you.
