Dental Bridges

You may be surprised to learn that the naming conventions used in modern medicine sometimes make more sense than they first appear. In the case of a dental bridge, the procedure is named because it describes the function of the treatment: it bridges the space between teeth that’s present from tooth loss.

And like other bridges that you might be familiar with, a dental bridge is designed and built for durability. Our dentist uses the latest technology, equipment, and materials to ensure that your dental work from Universal Dental is designed for long-term stability – often up to 15 or more years.

Even if your missing tooth – or teeth – aren’t in an area of your mouth that others can see, getting a replacement for them is important to your long-term oral health. Over time, your remaining teeth will shift from their secure locations to close the gap that exists. When this happens, food becomes trapped in areas that are not only uncomfortable but more difficult to control from gum disease.

To summarize, you face the chance of losing additional teeth in the future by not replacing a missing tooth today. Instead of worrying about that eventuality, why not make an appointment today to learn about dental bridges and other tooth replacement options from Universal Dental?
