When adult tooth loss leaves a gap, your surrounding teeth are at risk of shifting, tilting or crowding into the space. To keep your remaining teeth from going rogue in your mouth, our talented dentists at Lynn Valley Orthodontics and Family Dentistry, your ‘dental clinic near me’, might recommend creating a dental bridge to fill the gap and keep your smile straight.

How a Dental Bridge Protects Your Smile

A dental bridge is a porcelain crown, but it differs from a traditional dental crown because it is affixed to the teeth on either side of the gap to keep everything in place. Essentially, we will custom craft a full dental crown to fill the gap in your smile. To keep it in place, we will smooth down the teeth on either side to prime them for partial crowns that will “complete the bridge” for your healthiest smile. A dental bridge offers a durable, long-lasting and aesthetic solution for missing teeth.
