Missing multiple teeth, or even one tooth, can make everyday activities, such as chewing and speaking more difficult. You shouldn’t have to miss out on eating your favorite foods or showing off your smile because of an incomplete smile. At Middletown Commons Family Dental, our natural-looking tooth restorations can fill in the empty spaces from missing teeth and help you achieve a higher quality of life.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A bridge is made with two crowns that are connected to either side of a false tooth. The crowns cover the teeth on either side of the gap while the false tooth in the middle fills in the space. The crowns add additional support for the dental bridge as they hold it in place. Then, we connect a false, but natural-looking, porcelain tooth (or teeth) to the crowns to fill in the space.

Benefits of Replacing Missing Teeth

Dental bridges can improve your overall dental health and your smile’s appearance. They can also:

• Allow you to bite and chew with ease
• Bridge the gaps in your smile
• Maintain your facial shape
• Prevent other teeth from shifting into the space
• & More

How Much do Dental Bridges Cost?

The cost of dental bridges depends on a variety of factors, including your oral health, the number of missing teeth, and more. During your consultation, Dr. Ward will provide you with an accurate cost estimate based on your specific needs and discuss your payment options. At Middletown Commons, we work hard to ensure our patients can enjoy the benefits of a full, healthy smile.
