Bridges

Replacing missing teeth can not only restore your smile but is important for your overall dental health and proper function of your teeth. A missing tooth can cause lowered self-confidence, and a hesitance to smile, eat or speak properly, and can even lead to function and health problems. A bridge is a restoration that fills the gap of a missing tooth by attaching to adjacent teeth. Dr. Joyner uses superior materials and techniques to ensure that your porcelain bridge restoration will not only restore your smile, but also provide long-lasting confidence and functionality. If dental implants are not an option for you, a bridge may be the perfect solution.

FAQ

Why is replacing my missing teeth with a bridge ideal for me?

Replacing your missing teeth with bridge restorations can be an ideal alternative that offers superior function and stability compared with partials or dentures. Bridge restorations are bonded to adjacent teeth for strength and provide patients the comfort and reliability over that of removable restorations.

How do I take care of my bridge?

Bridge restorations require proper care to ensure the life span. Just like natural teeth, bridge restorations require routine preventive visits, daily brushing and appropriate flossing techniques.

Is a bridge removable like a denture or partial?

A fixed bridge restoration is not removable like a partial or denture. The bridge is actually bonded to the teeth adjacent to the missing teeth. The results is durability and the capacity to perform just like natural teeth. The bonding allows the patient the appearance and function of a beautifully restored smile without the inconvenience of removable appliances.
