What are Dental Bridges?
When patients have lost a tooth from their smile, they may have a variety of options to choose from when it comes to restoring the function and cosmetics. Some patients may choose dental implants because they are strong and long-lasting while others may choose dentures because they are more economical. However, some patients may speak to their dentist at Laser Dental Associates about placing a dental bridge.
What are bridges? Bridges are dental restorations that are fabricated from porcelain and use the surrounding teeth to support them. A false tooth, called a pontic, fills the gap left behind from the lost or extracted tooth. This entire restoration from end-to-end is known as a dental bridge. It looks completely natural within the smile.
Bridges are more permanent than more traditional dentures and less costly than dental implants making them a wonderful middle-of-the-road solution for patients ready to repair their smile. Our team also uses CEREC technology to make dental bridges in-house and avoid the wait and the second appointment often necessary at other dental practices in the Sterling Heights area. At Laser Dental Associates, we fabricate new dental bridges in as little as 15 minutes in our practice eliminating the time and energy needed for laboratory-created bridges which are equal in quality to what can be made under our own roof!
