What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is an excellent solution if you are missing teeth. Aptly named, these prosthetic devices “bridge” the gap left by one or more missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics. A dental bridge consists of a false tooth (or teeth), known as a pontic, which is permanently held in place by attaching to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap. This ensures stability and closely mimics the appearance and function of natural teeth.
The process of obtaining a dental bridge involves preparing adjacent teeth to serve as abutments or supports for crowns. These carefully crafted artificial teeth are matched in shape, colour and size to your existing natural teeth. Once in place, a dental bridge not only fills the void left by missing teeth, but also contributes to maintaining proper dental alignment, supporting oral health and enhancing bite function. Beyond their functional benefits, dental bridges offer an aesthetically pleasing solution for missing teeth, allowing you to regain a complete and confident smile. Sarcee Family Dental is dedicated to delivering natural-looking dental bridges to help you achieve optimal oral health and aesthetic satisfaction.
