A dental bridge in Pikesville, MD, can be an option if you are missing one or more teeth and want to restore your smile and chewing ability. A bridge uses crowns placed over the teeth next to the gap to support replacement teeth that fill the space.
What Makes Someone a Good Candidate for a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge can be a good option if you have a missing tooth and the surrounding teeth are healthy enough to support the restoration. We will evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, and overall health to determine whether a bridge is right for you and help you restore function and confidence.
Replacing a missing tooth can also help prevent nearby teeth from shifting into the open space. Leaving a gap untreated can affect your bite, make cleaning more difficult, and contribute to other dental problems over time.
Dental bridges are typically made from porcelain or ceramic materials, making them strong and natural-looking. Bridges are permanently secured in place and require you to keep up with good oral hygiene, such as brushing, flossing, and specialized cleaning around the gum line.
