Dental bridges are a restoration designed to replace a single tooth or consecutive missing teeth. A dental bridge is a series of porcelain teeth attached with dental ceramic or metal.
A traditional dental bridge fits over the teeth adjacent to the missing tooth or teeth and is removable. The dental bridge is a cost-effective solution for improving the appearance and function of the smile after tooth loss.
Can I secure my dental bridge with dental implants?
Patients with a dental bridge may benefit from the addition of dental implants. Dental implants are surgically implanted into the jaw and used to anchor the dental bridge in place. Adjacent, otherwise healthy teeth are not impacted and support a more stable smile.
Dental bridges are a custom dental restoration. Your Palmetto dentist will design the bridge with the natural aesthetic of your smile in mind. The dental bridge will fit comfortably and securely over the adjacent teeth improving your ability to chew and speak normally.
Implant Supported Dental Bridge
When possible, Dr. Sang may recommend that patients secure their dental bridge using two or more dental implants. Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically implanted into the jaw bone. The post acts as a prosthetic root system and bonds with the jaw bone.
Dental implants are a more stable alternative to a traditional bridge. The implants help to support natural bone growth and support the alignment of the teeth and health of the gums.
Dr. Sang performs all phases of the dental implant procedure from the comfort of his Florence, SC dentist office. Our dental care team will coordinate each step to ensure a precise and predictable result.
