Modern Dental Bridges in Holly Springs, NC

What is a dental bridge?

Dental bridges can replace one or several missing teeth. Typically, traditional bridges are the most common bridge used to restore teeth. This dental bridge has two or more crowns on each side with a filler tooth or teeth in between that connect. When placed, a bridge can restore your bite and help keep the natural shape of your face and teeth alignment.

How long do dental bridges last?

Bridges for teeth can last five years or longer with proper care and placement! The durable restorative option assures that you can comfortably speak and chew as if you had all your natural teeth. Brushing twice a day, flossing once a day, and visiting our office for regular exams and cleanings are essential for the longevity of your dental bridge.

What is the difference between a dental crown and a bridge?

A quality dental bridge can replace weak or missing teeth, whereas a dental crown covers an existing tooth that is either weak or damaged. Bridges for teeth solely replace missing teeth and can bridge the gap of a smile. A dental crown can cap individual teeth to prevent further damage to their size, strength, and shape. These replacement tooth options can play a significant role in maintaining your oral health.
