A dental bridge is a comfortable, durable way to replace missing teeth. Main Street Dental Smiles uses current technology and time-tested techniques to make bridges that restore both health and function.
How a Bridge Works
Much like a partial denture, a bridge spans the gap left by one or more missing teeth. It is anchored to natural teeth or dental implants on each side of the space. A bridge brings back your smile, supports your facial contours and lets you speak and chew comfortably again.
Why Gaps Matter
A gap is more than a cosmetic problem. Neighboring teeth can drift into the space and cause crooked teeth and bite problems. The imbalance can also contribute to gum disease and jaw joint problems (TMD). Filling the gap protects your oral health for years to come.
Caring for Your Bridge
A bridge depends on healthy teeth around it, so brush and floss thoroughly every day, avoid biting hard foods or objects, and keep your twice-yearly cleanings and exams. With good care, a bridge lasts for many years.
Why a Prosthodontist?
Prosthodontists have advanced training focused on restoring and replacing teeth, and they understand what makes a smile healthy, functional and natural-looking. Dr. Schilling is our prosthodontist.
