If you're missing one or more teeth, you may notice a difference in chewing and speaking. There are options to help restore your smile.

​

Bridges help maintain the shape of your face, as well as alleviating the stress in your bite by replacing missing teeth.

Sometimes called a fixed partial denture, a bridge replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth, looks great, and literally bridges the gap where one or more teeth may have been. The restoration can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain or a combination of these materials and is bonded onto surrounding teeth for support. Unlike a removable bridge, which you can take out and clean, a fixed bridge can only be removed by a dentist.

​

An implant bridge attaches artificial teeth directly to the jaw or under the

gum tissue. Depending on which type of bridge your dentist

recommends, its success depends on its foundation. So it's very

important to keep your remaining teeth healthy and strong.
