Missing Teeth

If you lose a tooth, especially in a noticeable area, it can be embarrassing. Our dentist in Atwater at Dennis Dental Care offers various options for replacing missing teeth. A dental bridge is a fantastic solution to enhance your smile and increase your confidence.

In addition to the cosmetic benefits, missing teeth can impact your ability to eat certain foods and may cause neighboring teeth to shift. Porcelain bridges can help address these issues by restoring your ability to eat comfortably, improving your smile, and preserving the alignment of your remaining teeth.

A Better Bridge

A dental bridge is a reliable and natural-looking option for replacing missing teeth. It consists of porcelain crowns on each end with a porcelain piece in the middle to match the missing teeth. The supporting natural teeth, or abutments, are prepared similarly to individual porcelain crowns and the bridge is securely fitted onto these abutments. Unlike partial dentures, a bridge stays in place without needing to be removed. In some cases, dental implants can also support the bridge instead of natural teeth. We can help determine the best option for your specific needs.

The design of your bridge will be based on the number of missing teeth and the condition of the abutment teeth. At our practice, we ensure your bridge is crafted to the highest standards for a natural look and long-term durability. We will also provide guidance on how to care for your new bridge to maintain its integrity.
