Missing teeth can take a real toll on both your smile and your confidence. It can also negatively affect your oral health. Here at Wildflower Dental & Orthodontics, we provide dental bridges to fill in those gaps. Say goodbye to the hassles of missing teeth. Thanks to dental bridges, you can once again enjoy a better quality of life from behind a complete, fully functioning smile.

Traditional Dental Bridges

In our everyday lives, bridges help us get places, connecting a gap from one place to another. Dental bridges work in a very similar manner. They are used to replace a missing tooth or even a cluster of teeth and are a great option for returning your smile to its former glory. Bridges are a unit or row of false—but natural looking—teeth. The traditional method of bridge placement is using dental crowns on either side of the gap to anchor the bridge. The prosthetic teeth between the crowned teeth (referred to as the pontic) fit comfortably inside the space left from the missing teeth. The bridge doesn’t just improve the appearance of your smile; it also aids in preventing your natural teeth from shifting out of alignment and bone-density loss. Once your bridge is placed, you can let missing teeth be water under the bridge

Dental Implant-Stabilized Bridges

For patients who are looking for a more permanent tooth restoration, bridges can be adhered using dental implants placed on either side of the gap. While traditional bridges generally have a lifespan of about 20 years, implant-stabilized bridges can last up to 40 years and up. An additional bonus of implants is that the biocompatible post that we integrate into your jaw stimulates bone growth. This means that you’re less likely to lose additional teeth to low bone density.
