Dental Bridges at Quality Dental Care
At Quality Dental Care, we offer dental bridges as an effective solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring your smile. A dental bridge fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth, improving both function and aesthetics. Our team provides high-quality, customized bridges that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, allowing you to speak, chew, and smile with confidence.
What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) anchored in place by crowns attached to the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Bridges help maintain the alignment of your teeth and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of place.
Types of Dental Bridges
- Traditional Bridges: These are the most common type, using crowns placed on natural teeth on either side of the gap to support the artificial tooth.
- Cantilever Bridges: Used when only one adjacent tooth is available for support.
- Maryland Bridges: A more conservative option that uses metal or porcelain wings attached to the back of adjacent teeth rather than crowns.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: These bridges are anchored by dental implants instead of natural teeth, offering superior stability and longevity.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
Restores function:
Bridges allow you to chew and speak properly by filling the gap left by missing teeth.
Prevents teeth from shifting:
Missing teeth can cause neighboring teeth to drift out of position, leading to bite problems.
Enhances aesthetics:
A well-designed bridge blends naturally with your existing teeth, improving your smile.
Long-lasting solution:
With proper care, a dental bridge can last for many years.
Maintains facial structure:
Missing teeth can lead to bone loss and changes in facial appearance; bridges help support facial integrity.
