You might think the one missing molar you have is no big deal, but it can cause some annoying issues if you don’t get a restoration to replace it. If you are missing one or a couple of teeth, dental bridges are a great alternative to dental implants. Our team at High Springs Dental can help you maintain your oral health and winning smile!
Many people would prefer not to have surgery to replace a tooth – and some aren’t even eligible. If either of these cases describe you, Dr. Von Gunten will probably recommend a dental bridge. As the name infers, it will bridge the gap between two natural teeth or dental implants.
If you have your original teeth surrounding the gap, we will shape them to allow the placement of dental crowns. The crowns will serve as an anchor for an artificial tooth that is not supported by an implant.
Crowns over dental implants can also be used as anchors for the new restoration. Just like the crowns over your natural teeth, we will bond them for a sturdy fit. Whatever your choice may be, our restorations are entirely custom made, so they feel comfortable and are fully functional.
Missing teeth can negatively impact your oral health and appearance, so getting a restoration as soon as possible should definitely be on your to-do list. Contact the team at High Springs Dental today for a consultation!
