Addressing the Loss of Teeth

Losing one or more teeth can be devastating for anyone, and sporting a noticeable gap in a smile is enough to significantly impact a person’s confidence and comfort in their own skin.      

Ask About the Benefits of a Fixed Dental Bridge

The loss of one or more teeth can have significant impacts on your oral health, and contribute to more than just cosmetic awkwardness. In fact, when a tooth is no longer present, the surrounding teeth begin to gradually drift and shift in alignment, impacting the overall structural integrity of your smile. Utilizing lifelike materials to closely mimic the lost teeth, a fixed dental bridge prevents structural drift and is securely attached to the healthy teeth on each side of the gap.

Your treatment process will begin first with scanning and tooth preparation. This involves scanning your smile and obtaining precise measurements to craft the custom prosthetic. It also aids in preventing the loss of the occlusal relationship after tooth preparation. Your dentist will shape the target tooth or teeth during this step to prepare the structures for receiving your dental restoration, then when it is ready, your dentist will deliver and place your dental bridge.
