What is a Dental Bridge?
At Brilliant Smiles Henderson, missing teeth are more than just an aesthetic issue—they impact your quality of life. Led by [Dr. Julian Alivia](/about), our practice offers high-quality dental bridges that restore not only the appearance of your smile but also its functionality. We understand the importance of a swift and effective treatment, which is why we offer options that can transform your smile in a single visit.
What Are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are prosthetic devices used to fill the gap created by one or more missing teeth. They are composed of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap and a false tooth/teeth in between. These are supported by natural teeth or [dental implants](/services/restorative-dentistry/dental-implants), which serve as anchors.
Why Choose Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges offer several benefits:
- Aesthetic Appeal: They restore your smile by filling gaps with natural-looking teeth.
- Functionality: Bridges allow you to eat and speak without difficulty, distributing the forces in your bite properly.
- Prevention: They prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position, which could lead to further oral health issues.
- Durability: When cared for properly, dental bridges can last many years, providing a cost-effective solution to tooth loss.
