Dental Bridges in Brooklyn, NY

Dental bridges are custom-crafted restorations designed to replace one or more missing teeth. They are supported by two dental crowns that are placed over adjacent natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap. The replacement teeth, which are called pontics, bridge the gap in your smile. These restorations are renowned for their exceptional strength and beauty. In fact, many of our patients even choose to get dental bridges for purely cosmetic reasons.

Many of our patients prefer fixed bridges because they are easy to care for and do not require any special attention. With proper care and regular checkups, you can expect your dental bridge to last for ten to fifteen years. Do note that regular dental care is still crucial for preserving the integrity of your bridge. 

What Are the Advantages?

• A bridge is a permanent restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth. Unlike dentures, a bridge is not patient-removable and can only be removed by a dentist.
• A bridge is anchored in place by its supporting teeth or crowns on either side of the gap. This means that bridges are firmly attached and do not shift around in the mouth like unsecured or removable restorations.
• Since the bridge is supported on both sides, the bite will not change. 
• Patients can restore their smile with natural-looking results by replacing multiple missing teeth in a row.
• Getting a dental bridge can improve speech and prevent you from feeling self-conscious about your appearance.
