Dental Bridges

Addressing Consecutive Tooth Loss With a Bridge

Missing just one tooth can have a significant impact on a person’s confidence and overall quality of life. When tooth loss occurs in a consecutive pattern, a dental bridge prosthetic can restore your smile’s youthful, healthy appearance, while also addressing your bite’s ability to function properly with optimal balance. Designed to span the gap between natural teeth, a dental bridge consists of anywhere from one to three pontics, or artificial teeth that are fixed in place. These restorations are created using your precise smile measurements and will closely mimic the natural look and shape of your teeth.

Custom Restorations to Bridge the Gap in Your Grin

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to dental prosthesis and restoration, as each patient’s situation and needs will vary. At Pecan Tree Dental, we are committed to making your family’s dental healthcare as comfortable and individualized as possible. Our bridge restorations are custom-designed to fit each patient’s unique smile needs and can be fixed in place by securing them to the healthy structures on either side using supporting dental crowns. In some cases, we may recommend supporting your bridge using dental implants for optimal bite function and oral health. Ask your Grand Prairie, TX dentist about the benefits of a bridge and how we can help you restore your smile’s appearance and function.
