Rebuild Your Smile with Dental Bridges in Rockwall
Close Gaps Caused By Tooth Loss
Losing a tooth can have an impact that’s more than a knock to your confidence. When we secure a permanent dental bridge, we provide important functional support that leads to better bite strength and fewer risks for complications after tooth loss.
What is a Dental Bridge?
A bridge is a carefully designed dental appliance that lets us close an empty space in your upper or lower row of teeth without the need for oral surgery. In addition to benefiting your health and bite, it also restores your smile!
How Else Can They Benefit You?
- When a tooth is missing, your surrounding teeth may shift which can lead to various dental problems, such as tooth decay, gum disease, and jaw joint disorders. Dental bridge help prevent these issues by maintaining the proper alignment of your teeth.
- Since missing teeth can affect your speech clarity, a bridge can help restore proper pronunciation and improve your overall speech.
- Dental bridges can eliminate the discomfort and embarrassment associated with missing teeth. Replacing your missing teeth can also provide a more comfortable and functional oral environment!
You Shouldn’t Ignore Your Tooth Loss
Losing your teeth, or just a tooth, has more than just a cosmetic impact on your life. In addition to bruising your ability to smile freely, the loss can also make it harder for you to bite and chew naturally. These uneven movements can cause discomfort and raise your risk for TMJ disorder. It can also cause you to overuse certain teeth and wear them down prematurely.
Placing Your Custom Dental Bridge
A dental bridge is a restoration that depends on a pair of crowns for permanent support. Those crowns are placed on the teeth that surround the empty space in your upper or lower row of teeth. Once set in place, they offer stability to permanently keep the bridge in position even as you rely on it to bite and chew through the years.
We take detailed measurements to craft a restoration that will fit securely and look natural. Because this work combines functional and cosmetic benefits, you can be eager to have work done that will restore your bite and chew, smile, and speech!
