Bridges are used to create a lifelike replacement for a missing tooth. When patients are missing a permanent tooth, it can leave a visible tooth gap in the mouth. This can impact the way a person smiles and their personal and professional confidence. In addition, even minor tooth loss can affect a patient’s oral functions, such as eating and speaking.
Our Winter Springs, FL dentists and staff are passionate about creating confident, healthy smiles.
One restorative procedure for tooth loss is dental bridges. A dental bridge actually “bridges” a gap in the mouth caused by a missing permanent tooth. Bridges are made up of one or more replacement teeth, created to look and function just like your original teeth, and held in place by dental crowns. This allows for a comfortable and natural-looking fit, restoring both the aesthetics of your mouth and the way your teeth function.
Dental bridges can restore confidence in a patient’s appearance by replacing missing teeth with ones that look natural. Dr. Fabiola Camacho, DDS – the best dentist near you offers bridges for patients missing one or more permanent teeth.
