Dental Bridges

Having a missing tooth can change your appearance dramatically. A missing tooth can cause the other teeth in your mouth to become crooked. A missing tooth can also make it difficult to eat or speak. Dental bridges solves these problems.

Dental bridges use your existing teeth to hold an artificial tooth in place. This is a cheaper tooth replacement option than implants. Dental bridges are made from gold, metal, alloys, or porcelain to ensure that they are strong and durable.

The process of creating a dental bridge begins by re-shaping the teeth that will support the bridge. A mold is then taken of the teeth around the missing tooth and sent to a dental lab. The lab is able to use the mold to create a dental bridge that will fit properly and feel as close to your natural teeth as possible.

Dr. Mitchell will fit you with a temporary bridge while he waits for the lab to make your permanent bridge. Once the permanent bridge is made it will be set in your mouth using a permanent adhesive.

If you are missing a tooth you should strongly consider having it replaced. Please call Dr. Mitchell and make an appointment to fix your smile today.
