Dental Bridges Replacing Teeth at Bloor-Dundas Dental Care
Fixed bridges, quite simply, replace missing teeth to make chewing more accessible, improve appearance, and keep your teeth, gums, and jaw healthy.
Bridges consist of one or more replacement teeth attached to the natural teeth next to them. They are made of various metals, porcelain, or a combination of the two.
In short, by replacing missing teeth, you can:
- 3 Unit Bridge Close up and in Mouth
- 3-Unit Bridge Close up and Placement in the Mouth
- Help restore and maintain a natural bite.
- Prevent unnatural stress on other teeth.
- Help keep opposing teeth in their proper place.
- Prevent shifting and tilting of adjacent teeth.
- Help prevent further dental decay and gum disease.
- Maximize your smile, speech, and chewing function.
Alternatives to fixed bridges include removable partial dentures, which are the most common alternative, or implants with crowns and fixed prostheses placed over them.
If you have any further questions about bridges or notice a problem with your bridge already in place, please contact Dr. Muyal.
