FIXED BRIDGES
If you’re missing one or more teeth, you may be aware of a change to your facial appearance and dental health. Your teeth work together to help you chew, speak and smile and when you lack teeth, it’s not as easy to do these things. Fortunately, missing teeth can be replaced! Traditional methods to replace a missing tooth or teeth include the fabrication of a bridge. At least one tooth on either side of the space created by the missing tooth must be prepared for a crown. Then a false tooth is joined to the crowns, and the entire structure is cemented to the prepared teeth. The patient cannot remove the bridge, and special aids are available to keep it clean. Dr. Frey will advise you of all of your tooth replacement options.
