What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge in Bryant, AR is a fixed prosthetic that bridges the gap left by one or more missing teeth. A dental bridge involves placing crowns on adjacent teeth to anchor the false (pontic) tooth. The process for placing traditional bridges at Saline Dental is similar to dental crowns.
Dental bridges improve your chewing ability and speech, eliminating sensitivity and issues that can impact adjacent teeth. But unless you receive an implant-supported bridge, bone loss continues under the false tooth without a tooth root to stimulate your jawbone.
