\"When<\/a>If you are missing teeth, cosmetic dental services<\/a>, such as dental bridges, may be able to help. Dental bridges fill the space left by missing teeth, which can improve your confidence, enhance your smile, and prevent your remaining teeth from shifting.<\/p>\n

Many treatments overlap between cosmetic and restorative dentistry, and dental bridges are one of them. Bridges can be a cosmetic improvement to your smile and a functional and beneficial addition to your oral health.<\/p>\n

Cosmetic dental services include dental bridges<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

Dental bridges can improve a patient’s smile by filling gaps caused by missing teeth, which is considered part of cosmetic dentistry. However, cosmetic dental services<\/strong> like bridges can also be functional and improve overall dental health.<\/p>\n

Benefits of dental bridges<\/h3>\n

Many individuals go through life with missing teeth. However, this can impact a patient\u2019s confidence, oral health, and quality of life. Notably, patients may be embarrassed or self-conscious about their smiles. They may find it difficult to smile for photos, eat certain foods, or speak in public.<\/p>\n

Missing teeth can lead to dental issues if left untreated. Typically, the patient\u2019s remaining teeth will start to shift to fill the space. Shifting teeth can impact the patient\u2019s smile and the alignment of their bite. Poor bite alignment can lead to uneven wear and tear, increased pressure on certain teeth, and TMJ or teeth grinding disorders.<\/p>\n

Since dental bridges fill the space left from a missing tooth, they can solve these issues. Dental laboratories fabricate bridges from durable materials that can withstand biting pressure. They are also shaped and colored to look like natural teeth.<\/p>\n

Four common types of dental bridges<\/h3>\n

With this treatment, the dentist will create crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap. They will bond the crowns to the pontic, or artificial tooth, in between. <\/p>\n

Today, dentists rarely use cantilever bridges because they can put too much force on the remaining healthy teeth. A dentist may offer this type of cosmetic dental service<\/em> when there is only one adjacent natural tooth to the missing tooth or teeth. With Maryland bonded bridges, the dentist will cement the bridge to the backs of nearby supporting teeth. <\/p>\n

Implant-supported bridges do not require support from the surrounding teeth. Instead, a dentist will surgically insert implants into the patient\u2019s jaw. The implants will support the bridge. Implant-supported bridges may require one or two minor surgeries under local anesthetic. <\/p>\n

Materials for dental bridges<\/h3>\n

Dental labs can fabricate dental bridges from various materials. Options may vary depending on the type of dental bridge, but the most common materials are composite resin, porcelain, or porcelain fused to metal. Regardless of the material, the dental bridges look, feel, and function like natural teeth.<\/p>\n
