In conjunction with crowns, a bridge affixes the crown to the missing tooth’s neighboring teeth, allowing the correction to become one with your natural smile. Bridges can be either permanently attached (fixed) or removable. Fixed bridges are installed by either placing crowns on the adjacent teeth or by bonding the artificial teeth directly to the adjacent teeth. Removable bridges are attached to the teeth with metal clasps. As the name implies, they can be taken out and cleaned. Oral function and appearance are important reasons for wearing a bridge. A bridge supports your lips and cheeks. The loss of a back tooth may cause your cheeks to sink and your face to look older. In addition, the increased risk of gum disease has proven to be one of the worst side effects of missing teeth and can be minimized with a bridge.
We are known for the quality of our work and are very proud of the positive changes we make for our patients. Please call our Cincinnati office to explore our crown and bridge options.
Our can do impressions for more than just Invisalign. When it’s time to create the impression for your crown or bridge, you won’t need to have a tray of gooey impression material in your mouth. Our Cincinnati dentists can create a digital impression with our iTero 3D intraoral scanner without the discomfort or inconvenience of impression trays.
