Tooth-colored Dental Bridges Fill Gaps In Your Smile
Gaps and spaces in your smile can be a source of embarrassment. It can also make eating and speaking more difficult and cause other teeth to shift out of place. To address missing teeth with cosmetic dentistry, Drs. Juban and Cowen may recommend a tooth-colored dental bridge.

The Basic Anatomy of a Dental Bridge
A dental bridge does what its name implies: bridges the gap created by missing teeth. Comprised of two dental crowns and prosthetic teeth in between them, a dental bridge is crafted from high-quality materials such as ceramic, zirconia, or porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM).
To prepare the teeth for your new restoration, the adjacent teeth are altered slightly. To make room for your new restoration, small amounts of enamel will be removed. Once the bridge is bonded into place, your smile should look completely natural. To properly maintain their dental bridge, patients should practice good oral hygiene and attend all routine dental cleaning appointments.
