A Stable Solution that Renews Your Smile
If you've lost teeth due to decay, accident, injury, or gum disease, we can create a permanent bridge to restore your solid smile and allow you to chew the way you are supposed to. A bridge not only fills the gap, but it also prevents the movement and collapse of adjacent teeth. It can also correct a misaligned bite, improve chewing function and speech articulation, and provide internal support for the face to give you a more youthful appearance.

What is a Fixed Bridge?
A fixed bridge consists of an anchor on both sides of the space left by the missing tooth and a false tooth or teeth connected to these anchors. The style of bridge we suggest will depend upon the strength and health of the abutment teeth, as well as the location of the gap in relation to the rest of your dentition. If healthy adjacent abutment teeth aren't available, a metal post known as a dental implant may offer a solid alternative. For a bridge that replaces many teeth, we may recommend a removable partial denture or implant-supported prosthesis.
