Bridges

If you have a missing tooth or a few teeth in a row, and the remaining teeth are stable on either side of the space, you may be a candidate for a dental bridge. A bridge consists of two crowns attached to a solid middle crown, which bridges the gap between the teeth. This middle crown is not hollow and has a smooth underside that is easy to clean with floss. Cemented in place like regular crowns, bridges provide a permanent solution and should not be confused with removable partial dentures.

Dental Bridges in One Visit A dental bridge is an effective option for replacing one to two missing teeth. Dr. Fakhoury can often create and place a bridge in a single day. The bridge involves one or two false teeth cemented to adjacent crowned teeth. For those seeking a faster permanent option than dental implants, bridges offer a quicker solution.

Dental Implants as an Alternative For a modern standard of tooth replacement, dental implants are recommended whenever possible. Dental implants involve a titanium screw acting as a tooth root, topped with an E4D crown. While implants are a more involved process requiring healing time, they provide a durable and long-lasting solution.
