We often think about overall health but sometimes as a grown up, the most unbearable thing to happen is to deal with tooth problem. Losing teeth will lead to lack of confidence in your smile, difficulty in chewing food, cavities, serious gum diseases, and facial structure changes. Missing teeth can actually affect your overall health and the health of your mouth.


Replacing the missing teeth will restore not only your ability to properly chew which play a vital role in your overall health condition but also your overall confidence. Failing to properly chew your food may over work your digestive system and may lead to many different health conditions. The space caused by the missing teeth may allow the surrounding teeth to cover the space left by your missing teeth and could cause a problem with your bite. It is also harder to clean shifted teeth making it more susceptible to multiple gum diseases, decay, possibly another tooth loss.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges close the gaps caused by one or more missing teeth. A dental bridge is an artificial teeth that works as a replacement for one or more missing teeth in your mouth giving you the ability to chew your food like you used to do and carry your confident smile once more.

A bridge is made up of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap allowing an artificial tooth or teeth in between and function like a real one. Dental bridges are supported by natural teeth or implants. It is carefully attached to two adjacent crowns for it to be completely bonded into the mouth.

Post Dental Bridge Procedure

Like natural teeth, bridges are already a permanent part of your tooth and are never removed, and they should be cleaned by brushing and using floss like you always do on a daily basis. Always keep your bridge clean to reduce the risk of tooth decay, which is not good for your bridge. Visiting your dentist or dental hygienist regularly for a professional cleaning is highly recommended.
