Why choose a bridge?

Teeth that are missing need support. Otherwise, they will gradually start to shift and move into the open space. A bridge can be used to replace one or more missing teeth. A bridge may be recommended by your dentist for a number of reasons.

• The bridge fills in the gaps that missing teeth leave behind.
• Gaps in your smile can make you self-conscious about your smile.
• A bridge can help prevent your remaining teeth from moving out of position.
• The bridge keeps the open space from causing surrounding healthy teeth to become loose or to fall out.

Dental bridges maintenance and cost

If you want to improve the longevity of your dental bridges, be sure to practice good oral hygiene. Brush and floss daily to keep your teeth and gums healthy. It’s also important to visit your dentist twice a year for checkups.

Dental bridges cost will vary widely. The cost for a dental bridge depends on several factors, including the dentist, the location of the dentist, the materials being used, and any additional procedures that may be needed.
