A dental bridge is a fixed (non-removable) appliance and is an excellent way to replace missing teeth. There are several types of bridges. Dr. Pettinato will discuss the best options for your particular case during your Total Smile Make Over Consultation. The “traditional bridge” is the most popular type and is usually made of porcelain fused to metal. Porcelain fixed bridges are most popular because they resemble your natural teeth. This type of bridge consists to two crowns that go over two anchoring teeth and are attached to artificial teeth, filling the gap created by one or more missing teeth.

Dental bridges are highly durable and will last many years. Because having a full set of teeth is an important part of having a perfect smile, we specialize dental bridges, and Total Smile Make Overs.

Reasons for a fixed bridge:

• Fill space of missing teeth
• Maintain facial shape
• Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position

• Restore your smile
• Upgrade from a removable partial denture to a permanent dental appliance
