Missing teeth can be a source of embarrassment for many people. The loss of back teeth forces the remaining teeth to work much harder, putting undue strain on these remaining molars and bicuspids. Custom made dental bridgework is an excellent solution to many functional and cosmetic dental problems arising from previous tooth loss.
Bridgework is extremely sturdy and comfortable when chewing. We can more evenly distribute the chewing forces with bridgework, which is very important when maintaining optimal dental health. This type of dental restoration can be anchored by the natural teeth or dental implants. These restorations are fixed in place and can not be removed by the patient. For confidence in social settings, fixed dental bridgework is a great choice.
Recently, an eight five year old patient in our practice was thrilled with her new smile after the completion of her custom bridgework. She claimed that she can laugh and smile again with confidence.
