Dental Bridges
Many adults end up losing one or two permanent teeth. This leaves a gap in the arch that’s both embarrassing and problematic on a functional level. Each tooth in the mouth is important and when you lose one or more, you aren’t able to properly chew or bite. Often, missing teeth interfere with speech, as well. Dental bridges in Corvallis, OR make it possible to smile again with confidence, and to restore function the way nature intended.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth anchored in place by crowns on the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Bridges fill the gaps left by missing teeth, preventing surrounding teeth from shifting out of alignment and maintaining the integrity of your bite.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
- Restores Function – Eat and speak comfortably without gaps affecting your bite.
- Enhances Appearance – Bridges are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
- Prevents Shifting – Keeps adjacent teeth from moving out of place, preserving proper alignment.
- Long-Lasting Solution – With good oral hygiene, bridges can last for many years.
- Minimally Invasive – Unlike implants, bridges do not require surgery for placement.
If you’re missing one or more teeth, a dental bridge just might be the best treatment solution for you. Contact your Corvallis, OR dentist at Monroe Avenue Dental today to schedule a consultation and learn how we can restore your smile with a custom, natural-looking dental bridge.
