Bridges
Bridges are useful as corrective measures after an
accident or serious dental decay. These
restorations-generally made of porcelain or a composite
material- are used to replace missing teeth Bridges are
a method by which to restore your bite and create a
pleasant smile. It also takes a great deal of time to
both prepare the area and affix the bridge once it comes
back from the lab. Fixed bridges are placed on the
neighboring teeth, so they span the site of the missing
tooth. The bridge is fitted with ceramic teeth to
replicate the missing teeth, to restore function, and
aesthetics.
