Prosthetic dental work is capable of giving you back more than just your confidence in the way you look. While a custom prosthetic appliance can match the appearance of your tooth and make you comfortable with your smile, it can also offer stability to help you bite, chew, and speak the way you did before. Because a dental bridge can be permanently secured with a pair of dental crowns, we can proceed with care without the need for oral surgery.
A dental bridge is an appliance that includes at least one pontic—your replacement tooth—and a pair of dental crowns. The crowns are set on the teeth at either side of the gap you want to close. Once they are set, your appliance will be stable enough to stay in place and let you use it to bite and chew.
A dental bridge is not the only solution that is available to you if you want to do something about tooth loss. Another approach we can offer is treatment with dental implants. Implant dentistry provides stability for restorations that are set in place by your dentist. These prostheses can be set permanently without modifying neighboring teeth. The implant itself can offer more support, and it can even stimulate your jawbone to help you avoid problems with a loss in bone density.
In order to give you back your complete smile, our Dallas, TX dental office can provide a custom oral appliance to improve your appearance and dental function. A custom dental bridge is able to close the space in your smile without oral surgery, which means a permanent replacement requires more conservative care than you expect. This is one of many restorative services we are ready to provide to patients who want to enjoy better dental health and a more attractive appearance.
