Dental Bridges
Dental Bridges Chino Hills, CA
All of your teeth play a vital role not just aesthetically, but also functionally. Essential functions of your mouth such as chewing and speaking are dependent upon teeth. Tooth loss due to aging, decay, trauma, or other reasons is normal and can negatively impact the full, proper function of your mouth. Fortunately, dental bridges are a great option for treating tooth loss.
What Are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are designed to literally bridge gaps created by missing teeth in a row of consecutive teeth. A bridge consists of two or more crowns that as act bookends, with false teeth in between, replacing the areas of missing teeth. The bookend or anchoring teeth are also known as abutment teeth. The false teeth in between the abutment teeth are also known as pontics, which could be made of various materials including gold, alloys, porcelain, or some combination of all three. Dental bridges are supported and held in place by natural teeth or implants.
