Dental Bridges For Missing Teeth

When Your Dentist Recommends Dental Bridges

Why Do I Need A Dental Bridge in The Villages FL?

SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT

Dentists in The Villages may recommend dental bridges to "bridge the gap" between one or more missing teeth. Your dental bridge holds existing teeth in place and keeps them from crowding the space where your missing tooth or teeth currently sit by filling that space with a false tooth or teeth. There are four kinds of bridges:

  1. traditional
  2. cantilever
  3. Maryland
  4. implant-supported

What is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a pontic (false tooth or teeth) that "bridges the gap" where a missing tooth or teeth once existed. The pontic is held in place by an attachment on the teeth on either side of the gap called abutments. These abutments are commonly made of porcelain to mimic the look of your natural teeth.
