Consult with one of our team at Wilson Dental Associates to explore the options and benefits of dental bridges for your specific needs.

What is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a dental restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by bridging the gap between existing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth, called pontics, that are anchored on either side by dental crowns or dental implants. The bridge restores functionality, improves chewing ability, and enhances the appearance of the smile. Dental bridges are custom-made to match the natural teeth in color, shape, and size, providing a seamless and natural-looking result. They are a reliable and durable solution for filling the space left by missing teeth, helping individuals regain their confidence and oral functionality.

How Does a Dental Bridge Work?

A dental bridge works by using artificial teeth, known as pontics, to bridge the gap left by one or more missing teeth. The bridge is anchored in place by dental crowns or dental implants on the adjacent teeth. The pontics fill the space of the missing teeth, restoring functionality, improving chewing ability, and enhancing the appearance of the smile. The bridge is custom-made to match the natural teeth in color, shape, and size, providing a seamless and natural-looking result. By “bridging” the gap, a dental bridge helps individuals regain their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
