Smile Big with Dental Bridges in Wellington, CO
At Wellington Family Dentistry, we want you to have a mouth full of beautiful teeth. So, when you’re missing one or more of those pearly whites, come to our practice for dental bridges in Wellington, CO. With a bridge to fill the gap, you can smile with confidence.
Nature intended for you to have a full set of teeth for life. When an accident or dental problem has deprived you of one or more teeth, dental bridges often are the solution. Having missing teeth is not good for your smile or your oral health.
Know that you aren’t alone in having missing teeth. Many of our patients are in the same situation as you are. We invite you to come into our practice and talk to our family dentist about your situation. Let us set up an examination and recommend the best option for you. Bridges are a cost-effective alternative to replacing missing teeth.
Bridging the Gap
A dental bridge is comprised of two crowns on either side of the missing tooth or teeth. The crowns serve as the “bridge” for the false tooth or teeth, which go in-between. Our dentist fills that space with one replacement tooth or several, depending on your need.
Bridges allow you to have a full set of teeth so you can chew as you normally would before the tooth or teeth were lost. This also helps with speaking clearly as the tongue hits the teeth to form certain sounds. Placing a permanent bridge in the empty space also prevents your adjoining teeth from shifting inward toward the space left by the missing teeth.
Bridges are a lower-cost alternative to dental implants that offer the same aesthetic benefits. Our patients who do not have substantial healthy bone in their mouths do not make good candidates for implants as the titanium tooth roots need to be placed in the jawbone itself. Another alternative may be partial dentures.
We suggest you talk to our dentist about the choice that best serves your needs. To schedule a consultation, call our practice for an appointment.
