Dental Bridges

If you're missing one tooth or several teeth in a row, our dentist may suggest a dental bridge. A bridge is a permanent tooth replacement that doesn't need to be removed and doesn't require surgery, making it an excellent alternative to a partial denture or dental implant. To find out if you could benefit from a dental bridge in Sterling, CO, call Sterling Smiles Dental at 970-526-6544 and schedule an appointment with Dr. Cristina Martha Smith.

How a Dental Bridge Works

A dental bridge is a fixed (nonremovable) restoration anchored in place by two dental crowns custom-made to fit your smile and placed on the teeth or implants next to the space left by the missing tooth. These crowns hold the artificial tooth securely in place so your restoration won't shift or come loose. It typically takes only two visits to our Sterling office to complete a dental bridge, and bridges are designed to last for many years.

Benefits of a Dental Bridge

Dr. Smith may recommend a dental bridge to improve your smile by:

• Restoring your ability to speak, eat, and chew normally
• Alleviating excess stress on your bite
• Improving the shape and volume of your face
• Replacing an unwanted removable partial denture
• Preventing your remaining natural teeth from moving out of position
• Enhancing the appearance of your smile
