Missing Teeth
Losing a tooth—especially in a noticeable area—can impact your confidence and make everyday activities like eating more difficult. At Dennis Dental Care in Silver Lake, OH, we offer a range of tooth replacement options designed to restore your smile and functionality. One effective and popular solution is a dental bridge, which not only improves your appearance but also helps maintain proper dental alignment and chewing ability.
Why Replace Missing Teeth?
Beyond cosmetic concerns, missing teeth can make it harder to chew certain foods and may lead to the shifting of nearby teeth, affecting your bite and overall oral health. A porcelain dental bridge addresses these issues by restoring function, preventing misalignment, and enhancing your smile—all in one solution.
A Better Bridge, A Healthier Smile
Dental bridges provide a stable, long-lasting, and natural-looking replacement for missing teeth. Typically, a bridge consists of porcelain crowns on each end with a custom-matched porcelain tooth (or teeth) in between. The natural teeth on either side of the gap, known as abutments, are prepared in a manner similar to receiving crowns. The bridge is then securely placed over these abutments and does not need to be removed—unlike partial dentures.
In some cases, dental implants can be used instead of natural teeth to support the bridge, offering an alternative for those who may not have strong abutment teeth. Our team will help assess your individual needs and recommend the most appropriate solution for your situation.
The design of your bridge will depend on the number of teeth being replaced and the condition of the surrounding teeth. At Dennis Dental Care, we customize every bridge with precision to ensure a comfortable fit, natural appearance, and long-term durability. We’ll also provide personalized instructions for caring for your bridge to keep it strong and looking great.
