What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a custom-made prosthetic that “bridges” the gap created by missing teeth, restoring your smile and oral function. A dental bridge consists of a false tooth or teeth, called a pontic, which is securely anchored to the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap. This design ensures stability and a natural appearance that mimics your own teeth. In order to place a dental bridge, adjacent teeth will need to be prepared in order to act as supports (abutments) for crowns. The Dental at the Bow team takes great care in crafting the artificial teeth to match the shape, size and colour of your natural teeth for a seamless result. Once in place, the bridge restores the function of your teeth, helping to maintain proper alignment and contributing to overall oral health. If you are missing one or more teeth, let Dental at the Bow provide you with a dental bridge so you can show off those pearly whites and smile with confidence!
