Transition from Worrisome Gaps to Confident Smiles with Top-tier Dental Bridges
Tooth loss is one of the most unwelcome changes in your smile. Unfortunately, missing teeth are common, affecting at least 178 million Americans. The good news? Tooth loss doesn’t have to define your confidence and appearance. Bring back the beauty and health of your smile with top-tier dental bridges in Glendale, Arizona. At Arrowhead Dentistry, we are excited to offer dental bridges that look and feel like natural teeth. Visit our office today and discover the powerful benefits of dental bridges.
What are dental bridges?
Dental bridges are excellent if you want to avoid dental implant surgery or are ineligible for it. A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic that fills gaps left by one or more teeth. A traditional bridge consists of artificial teeth that are anchored to nearby teeth. To ensure your bridge is stable, Dr. Upton places dental crowns on both ends of the gap.
Even if bridges are artificial, you want them to look as naturalistic as possible. To achieve this, the choice of materials can make all the difference. Our office uses life-like materials, such as porcelain and ceramics, to ensure your dental bridge blends seamlessly with your smile. Once placed, your bridge looks so natural that most people won’t notice it, even when it’s in highly visible areas like the front teeth.
Are dental bridges permanent?
Unlike conventional dentures, dental bridges are not removable. They are attached securely to the nearby teeth, eliminating the need to remove them for cleaning. Only a dentist can take them out for maintenance or repair. The semi-permanent nature of bridges makes them feel like having your natural teeth back. Their design allows you to eat, speak, and smile without worrying about shifting or removal.
The best news? You can improve the stability and comfort of your bridges with dental implants. Called implant-supported bridges, they provide a secure, comfortable alternative to traditional bridges or dentures. You’ll also enjoy unique benefits such as jawbone preservation.
What are the advantages of dental bridges?
Dental bridges do more than replace missing teeth—they are life-changing. Notable benefits of bridges include:
- Natural aesthetics: Our dental bridges match the color and shape of your natural teeth, blending seamlessly into your smile.
- Speak clearly: Replacing teeth, especially the front teeth, helps you pronounce words naturally and confidently again.
- Chew with confidence: A dental bridge restores balance to your bite, making it easier to enjoy your favorite foods without discomfort.
- Maintain a healthy bite: Bridges prevent nearby teeth from moving out of place, keeping your bite aligned and your jaw functioning properly.
- Durable longevity: Made from strong, high-quality materials, dental bridges are built to last for many years with proper care.
- No special care required: You maintain a dental bridge just as you would with natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits are all it takes.
