Replacing
Damaged or Missing Teeth
A dental bridge is a false tooth which is fused between two
porcelain crowns to fill the area left by a missing tooth.
Dental Bridges are vital in protecting not only the balance
of your bite and chewing motion, but the integrity of your
facial features as well. A person who leaves missing teeth
unattended may permanently alter the shape and contour of
his/her face. Dental Bridges easily restore not only the balance
of the mouth, but typically look and feel as natural as your
own teeth.
If you have missing teeth and have good oral hygiene practices,
Dr. Fawcett will discuss reconstructive options with you.
If spaces are left unfilled, they may cause the surrounding
teeth to drift out of position. Additionally, spaces from
missing teeth can cause your other teeth and your gums to
become far more susceptible to tooth decay and gum disease.
