A complete smile is not only aesthetically pleasing but also crucial for maintaining overall oral health. At Stephen Donoghue DDS, we understand the importance of having a full set of teeth. Dental bridges are a reliable solution for filling gaps caused by missing teeth, helping to restore both function and appearance.
What Are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are custom-made dental prosthetics designed to bridge the gap left by one or more missing teeth. They consist of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) held in place by dental crowns on adjacent teeth (abutments) or by dental implants. This restoration method helps to distribute the forces in your bite properly, preventing other teeth from shifting out of position.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
Opting for a dental bridge offers numerous benefits:
- Enhanced Functionality: Dental bridges restore your ability to chew and speak properly, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without discomfort.
- Aesthetic Improvement: A dental bridge can significantly improve your smile, boosting your confidence and self-esteem.
- Oral Health Maintenance: By filling the gap, a dental bridge helps maintain the alignment of your remaining teeth, reducing the risk of oral health issues such as gum disease and tooth decay.
- Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, dental bridges can last for many years, making them a durable and cost-effective option.
