What Are Dental Bridges?
From Dr. Eastwood at Summerbrook Dental & Implants – Fort Worth, TX
If you’re missing a tooth or several teeth, you might be wondering, “What are dental bridges?” A dental bridge is a special way to fill in the gap where a tooth is missing. It helps you chew better, speak clearly, and smile with confidence.
A dental bridge works by using the teeth next to the gap to hold a new, fake tooth in place. The fake tooth is called a “pontic” and the teeth on each side are called “abutment teeth.” The whole thing is cemented in place, so you don’t have to take it in and out.
Dr. Eastwood at Summerbrook Dental & Implants offers custom dental bridges right here in our Fort Worth office. Each bridge is made to match your smile, so it looks and feels natural. Dr. Eastwood will carefully check your mouth, talk with you about your goals, and help you decide if a bridge is the right choice for you.
Some people feel nervous or embarrassed about their teeth. But don’t worry—our office is a no-judgment zone. It doesn’t matter how long it’s been since your last dental visit. We’re just here to help you get healthy and feel good about your smile again.
