Dental bridges are natural-looking dental appliances that can replace a section of missing teeth as an alternative to implants. Traditional bridges have two crowns on either side of a space, with a fake tooth in the middle. Because they are custom-made, bridges are barely noticeable and can restore the natural contour of teeth and the proper bite relationship between upper and lower teeth.
However, bridges can use implants if patients require a restoration for consecutive missing teeth. We work with patients in our Arlington, TX office to provide custom dental bridges to restore lost teeth. Our office also provides additional restorative dentistry options to the public in Arlington, Texas.
Dental Bridge in Arlington, TX
Bridges can use dental crowns or implants for support. A traditional bridge consists of false teeth that replace one or more consecutive teeth supported on either side by dental crowns. Covering the natural teeth surrounding a missing tooth gap with dental crowns ensures the bridge stays in place.
Dental implants can also secure dental bridges. While it will take longer to receive implants, dental implants provide longer-lasting support. Dental implants act as replacement tooth roots and secure dental bridges so patients can eat and speak more normally.
Whether you choose traditional bridges or implant-secured bridges, we will help you receive the right restoration for your needs.
