Dental Bridges
Dental bridges in Hialeah replace one or more missing teeth, helping restore chewing function and the appearance of your smile.
Overview
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth with artificial teeth that fill the gap. These replacement teeth, called pontics, are supported by adjacent structures. A bridge is designed to restore chewing function and improve the appearance of a smile affected by tooth loss.
A fixed bridge stays in place and is removed only by a dentist. Removable replacement options can be taken out for cleaning and may attach to teeth with clips. Materials can include ceramic, porcelain fused to metal, metal, or composite resin, depending on the restoration.
