Bridges

Dental bridges are a non-removable option for replacing missing teeth. Bridges replace a missing tooth by anchoring a replacement tooth/teeth to neighboring teeth in front of and behind the space. Bridges consist of usually 3 or more teeth made as one porcelain work of art to replace the middle missing tooth. They are cemented onto the reshaped teeth and do not come in and out of the mouth. They feel like real natural teeth. Bridges have an advantage of quickly replacing a missing tooth without surgical intervention like an implant. They tend to be a little less expensive than a single tooth implant .A less invasive form of a bridge is called a Maryland Bridge, also known as a Resin Bonded Bridge. It is usually used to replace a single front tooth. The adjacent teeth are minimally reshaped to create space needed for the porcelain material. The prosthesis is fabricated at the dental ladb Upon your return to the office it is fitted and permanently bonded into place.
