Dental Bridges - Jupiter, FL

Don't hide your smile any longer!

Bridging The Gap

Missing teeth and the gaps may cause health problems in addition to destroying your smile. However, modern dental bridges literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. As a result, these bridges restore the important balance of your bite and restore your smile to its original beauty. With today’s modern advancements, dental bridges are created with a vibrant and durable form of porcelain that mimics the translucency of your natural tooth enamel. Dental bridges are ideal for patients who are missing one or two teeth in a row. Dr. Fotek offers both implant-retained and traditional bridges at our state-of-the-art Jupiter office. Instead of hiding your smile, contact us today to learn how dental bridges can help you rebuild your confidence, self-esteem, and smile.

    Building the Bridge

    Like other bridges, a dental bridge has a few necessary parts required to effectively cover the gap between teeth. In any case, the creation of your dental bridge will depend on a wide number of factors, such as the health of your neighboring teeth and the number of replacement teeth needed. However, all dental bridges will have two essential components such as:

    Abutments

    Abutments are the dental crowns located on each side of the bridge used to anchor it. It’s vital for these abutments to be on healthy teeth because the success of the bridge weighs heavily on these them. Dental bridges can also be anchored with dental implants.

    Pontics

    Pontics are the replacement teeth or tooth that fills the gap left by the missing tooth. Bridges can be made up of two or three pontics. These teeth are carefully crafted by our lab technicians and are essentially indistinguishable from your natural teeth.

    Understanding Your Tooth Replacement Options

    In the beginning stages of the process, Dr. Fotek will meet you for a consultation and simple visual oral exam, which includes digital x-rays. During this process, she will make sure your potential abutment teeth and bone are strong enough to support a traditional bridge. If your underlying bone structure is sufficient, she could suggest an implant-retained bridge. Whether you are looking to replacing one tooth or two, Dr. Fotek will explain your options and help you choose the best prosthetic replacement based on your lifestyle and health needs.

    Most people with one or two missing molars are not concerned, but they should be. While these teeth do not instantly detract from the appearance of your smile, they can lead to several health issues, such as the misalignment of your remaining teeth, TMJ disorder, and further tooth loss. The best solution is to utilize dental bridges for a versatile and reliable solution for those missing teeth.
