Missing even one tooth can create an uneven bite that places stress on your teeth and jaw joints. With this added stress, your teeth may shift out of position and become more prone to tooth decay and gum disease. A dental bridge is a restoration that uses dental crowns attached to pontics, or false teeth, to replace missing teeth. It is one of the most common ways for people to replace one or a few adjacent teeth. It requires healthy teeth on either side of the gap or dental implants to serve as abutments, which support the bridge.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”gcid-10b4438b-19ee-409b-a7d8-2ae5289e286a” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-10b4438b-19ee-409b-a7d8-2ae5289e286a%22:%91%22background_color%22%93}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ make_equal=”on” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”0px||||false|false” custom_css_main_element=”align-items: center;” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_css_main_element_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_css_main_element_tablet=”display: flex;||flex-direction: column-reverse;||gap: 20px;” custom_css_main_element_phone=”display: flex;||flex-direction: column-reverse;||gap: 20px;”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”|600|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#43B78D” header_2_font_size=”40px” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” header_2_font_size_tablet=”36px” header_2_font_size_phone=”22px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_line_height_tablet=”” header_2_line_height_phone=”1.2em” header_2_line_height_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Benefits of dental bridges<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]Dental bridges help distribute the bite forces more evenly to reduce the stress on other teeth. As a result, they can prevent teeth from drifting or shifting out of alignment. They also restore your smile and the natural shape of your face. Traditional bridges are generally made out of porcelain or porcelain that is fused to metal. The type you get may depend on where in the mouth it is being placed. At Antoine Dental Center in Houston, we will explain your options and the treatment procedure. Your abutment teeth will need to be prepared first, and a temporary bridge will keep your smile comfortable and attractive as you wait for your permanent bridge, which will be bonded securely into place when it is ready.
