What Do Dental Bridges Do?

Dental bridges are a popular solution in restorative dentistry, designed to replace one or more missing teeth. When you have a missing tooth, a dental bridge may be used to replace it. A dental bridge is a restoration that is fixed to the adjacent teeth, ‘bridging’ the gap caused by the missing tooth and also helps to keep the other adjoining teeth from moving. Let’s discuss what exactly dental bridges do and why they are an essential option for many people. 

Restore Your Smile & Confidence

Missing teeth can significantly affect your appearance, leading to self-consciousness and a reluctance to smile or speak. A dental bridge fills the gap and gives you a natural-looking smile. This restoration can significantly boost your self-confidence and improve your overall quality of life.

Improve Chewing & Speaking

A dental bridge restores your ability to chew properly, allowing you to enjoy a variety of foods. Also, missing teeth can affect your speech and create difficulty in pronouncing certain sounds. Dental bridges help restore proper speech, allowing you to speak clearly and confidently.

Maintain Facial Structure

Teeth play a crucial role in maintaining the structure of your face. When you lose teeth, it can cause your facial muscles to sag, which can make you look older. Dental bridges help maintain your facial structure by preventing the surrounding teeth from shifting out of position, ensuring that your face retains its natural shape.
