A bridge is a dental appliance that replaces missing teeth and stays in place permanently. It is cemented to your own teeth and is not removable. It is used to replace one or more missing teeth, help maintain the shape of your face, help you chew normally, and alleviate stress on your bite.
A bridge replaces missing teeth with natural looking porcelain teeth. It looks great, and literally bridges the gap where one or more teeth are missing.
The success of any bridge depends on its foundation — the other teeth, gums, or bone to which it is attached. Therefore, it's very important to keep your existing teeth, gums, and jaw healthy and strong. Dr. Rockwell can evaluate your oral condition to determine if bridge is the treatment option in your case.
