Do you have embarrassing gaps and spaces in your smile? Have you lost one or more teeth? Do you dream of restoring your smile to its former glory? Dr. Michael Wilhite may recommend a dental bridge. A dental bridge consists of two porcelain crowns with one or more porcelain false teeth in between. Dental bridges can be supported by natural teeth or implants. A dental bridge can:

  • Restore your smile
  • Restore your confidence
  • Restore the ability to chew and speak properly
  • Maintain the shape of your face
  • Properly distribute the forces in your bite
  • Prevent teeth from drifting

To prepare your mouth for a dental bridge, our dentist will prepare the abutment teeth (the teeth on either side of the gap). A small amount of enamel is removed to allow room for the crowns. An impression is made of the teeth so the crowns and false tooth can be prepared. When the bridge has been constructed, the fit is checked. Any needed adjustments are made, and the dental bridge is cemented into place.
