At Riverside Dental Office, we offer dental bridges near you to replace missing teeth. If you have one or more missing teeth, your dentist may recommend a dental bridge. Your teeth are designed to work together, which means when you have an absent tooth, this affects the alignment and stability of neighbouring teeth.
Dental bridges can restore the natural appearance of your smile, providing stability and filling in gaps formed by teeth that no longer exist. We are happy to offer dental bridges in the Riverside area of Windsor, Ontario to patients looking to restore their smiles!
What are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are designed to bridge the space between teeth formed by a missing tooth. A traditional bridge consists of two crowns that are placed on your neighboring teeth as well as an artificial replacement tooth that is placed in the center and attached to the crowns. The two supporting teeth are called abutment teeth and the false teeth are called pontics. Generally, dental bridges are made using porcelain, gold, metal alloys, or a combination of materials. When dental bridges are used to replace missing teeth, they stabilize the teeth and minimize the chances of your remaining teeth drifting after tooth loss.
