If you are missing a single tooth or multiple teeth in a row, we may recommend a dental bridge to restore your smile. A bridge is a permanently cemented restoration, anchored in place through the use of two dental crowns. The crowns, which are custom made for each person, are placed on the teeth adjacent to the space left by the missing tooth. These crowns hold the artificial tooth in place to restore your beautiful smile and your full chewing power. The bridge can be made of porcelain to perfectly match the shade of your teeth, or it can be made of gold. It typically requires only two visits to our practice to complete the dental bridge. Dental bridges are designed to last for many years and restore the function, beauty and health of your smile.

Our dentist may recommend a dental bridge to improve your smile by:

• Enhancing the appearance of your smile
• Restore a missing tooth or teeth
• Restoring your ability to speak, eat and chew normally
• Replacing an unwanted removable partial denture
• Preventing the remaining natural teeth from moving out of position

Dr. Cowles will help you determine whether a custom dental bridge is the right choice for restoring your smile and chewing ability after tooth loss. For more information, please call or visit our dentist today.
