Dental Bridges are a favorite solution to replace missing teeth. A bridge is a custom-made false tooth or teeth that is permanently placed between two teeth and it fills the space left by a missing tooth or teeth. Dr. Jill Ombrello, Dallas Family and Cosmetic Dentist, is a Dental Bridge expert and assures you perfectly natural, beautiful bridgework.
Partials, which are metal or plastic fixtures, like a denture with just one or two teeth on it are also used, but they do not look as natural as a bridge. They also can be difficult to eat with and must come out regularly to be cleaned. And many people just leave the missing tooth space open without any replacement.
To maintain the shape of the face, avoid teeth shifting or repositioning and to alleviate stress on other teeth in the bite when chewing, it is important to have the missing teeth replaced. Sometimes spaces without teeth can affect teeth.
Restorations can be made from porcelain, gold, alloys or some combination of these materials. Most bridges are permanently affixed while others can be removable.
