Dental Bridges

Custom Bridges Permanently Close Gaps Caused By Tooth Loss

When we secure a permanent dental bridge, our Rockwall, TX dental practice can provide important functional support that leads to better bite strength and fewer risks for complications after tooth loss. A bridge is a carefully designed appliance that lets us close an empty space in a person’s 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.

The Importance Of Dealing With Tooth Loss

Tooth loss has more than just a cosmetic impact on a person’s life. In addition to hurting your ability to feel confident when you smile, that loss can make it harder for you to bite and chew naturally. The uneven movements you rely on can cause discomfort and raise your risk for TMJ disorder. They can also cause you to overuse certain teeth and wear them down prematurely.

Placing A 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.

Detailed measurements are used 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 so that you can bite and chew, smile, and speak with renewed confidence!
