When a tooth is extracted or falls out, an unnatural looking gap is created between your teeth. The supporting teeth on either side of the extracted tooth now have to work twice as hard to chew and stay in place. If you are missing one tooth or multiple teeth, a dental professional may recommend a bridge to fill in the space left behind. This procedure “bridges the gap” left behind by the missing teeth.
A dental bridge is an excellent way to:
- Help restore your ability to chew.
- Aid you in speaking properly.
- Help keep the shape of your face intact.
- Work to prevent the remaining teeth in our mouth from shifting because of the space left behind by missing teeth.
- Protect your bite.
