A full set of healthy, working teeth matters for your oral health, your speech, your appearance and your confidence. If you’re missing one or more teeth, chewing gets harder, you’re more prone to gum disease, your speech can be affected, and your other teeth start shifting to fill the gap. A dental bridge can help.
Types of dental bridges
A bridge replaces missing teeth with natural-looking artificial teeth. The main types are:
- Fixed bridge: anchored to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap with crowns, with the artificial tooth or teeth spanning the space.
- Removable bridge: attaches to the neighboring teeth with clasps and can be taken out for cleaning.
- Implant bridge: supported by dental implants anchored in the jawbone instead of by your natural teeth.
Floss City Dental will help you choose the best bridge for your mouth, to improve your dental health and restore your smile.
