Dental Bridges at Waterstone Dentistry
A dental bridge is a fixed (nonremovable) prosthetic and is an excellent way to replace missing teeth. When a tooth is missing due to gum disease, decay, or trauma (injury), it can affect more than your appearance. Gaps in teeth can impact your bite, speech, and ability to chew. A missing tooth can also cause other teeth nearby to move out of place creating problems with previously healthy teeth.
A bridge fills the gap created by one or more missing teeth with artificial ones known as “pontics”. These pontics are attached to adjacent natural teeth with abutments. The bridge is one piece that is permanently cemented onto natural teeth. The result is a dental solution that feels natural, offering both aesthetic appearance and functional stability.
