Dental Bridges

Bridges are an excellent solution to replace missing teeth. A bridge is a replacement tooth that is fastened between two crowns that fills the area left by a missing tooth or teeth.

Some people have replaced teeth with a metal or plastic partial that is like a denture with just one or two teeth on it. They do not look as natural, can be difficult to eat with and should be taken out regularly to be cleaned. Some people simply have left the space open without any replacement.

It is important to have the missing teeth replaced to maintain the shape of the face, avoid teeth shifting or repositioning and to alleviate stress on other teeth in the bite when chewing. Also speech can be affected by missing teeth.

Most bridges are permanently affixed while others can be removable. Restorations can be made from porcelain, gold, alloys or some combination of these materials.

One patient shares a success. "I lost a front tooth at a very young age and have had a metal partial, also called a flipper as long as I can remember. Last month Dr. Maddahi gave me a smile makeover that included a bridge for that missing tooth. I no longer have this thing in the roof of my mouth that I had for over 40 years. My new smile is amazing, so natural looking and really, really beautiful."
