Missing teeth can impact not just your smile but your overall oral health. A dental bridge is a reliable restorative treatment that “bridges” the gap created by one or more missing teeth. At Noza Dental, we craft custom dental bridges in Warminster to restore your smile’s function and aesthetics.
Our bridges are designed to look natural and provide stability, preventing remaining teeth from shifting out of position. Whether you choose a traditional bridge or an implant-supported one, we have the solution for you.
What is a Dental Bridge?
A tooth bridge consists of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap (abutment teeth) and a false tooth or teeth (pontics) in between. This structure effectively fills the space of the missing tooth.
Types of Bridges
- Traditional Bridges: The most common type, involving a crown on either side of the missing tooth with a pontic in between.
- Cantilever Bridges: Used when there are adjacent teeth on only one side of the missing tooth or teeth.
- Maryland Bridges: Made of porcelain fused to metal or ceramic, with wings that bond to the back of existing teeth.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: Supported by dental implants rather than natural teeth, offering superior stability.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
- Restores Smile: Completes your smile for a natural look.
- Improves Function: Restores ability to chew and speak properly.
- Maintains Face Shape: Prevents facial sagging due to bone loss.
- Prevents Shifting: Keeps adjacent teeth from drifting into the empty space.
The Procedure
Getting a bridge typically requires two visits. During the first, the abutment teeth are prepared, and impressions are taken. A temporary bridge is placed. At the second visit, the permanent bridge is checked for fit and cemented into place.
