Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are an excellent option to replace one or more missing teeth. Decatur dentist Dr. Roderick Cooper often recommends a dental bridge if you are not a suitable candidate for dental implants. At your initial consultation, Dr. Cooper will discuss all of your tooth replacement options with you and recommend the ideal solution to meet your unique oral health needs.

Why Replace a Missing Tooth?

A missing tooth is not just an eyesore. It is also a barrier between you and great dental health. Leaving gaps in teeth for long periods of time can affect your whole mouth:

• Teeth can shift out of place
• The underlying jawbone may degrade
• Your bite can become imbalanced

Having Dr. Cooper fit you with a custom dental bridge will effectively improve the function of your mouth and enhance the beauty of your smile.

How Dental Bridges Work

A dental bridge is an effective solution because it addresses both the functional and aesthetic issues associated with missing teeth.

Dr. Cooper creates a dental bridge by fusing an artificial tooth to two dental crowns. The dental crowns are then bonded to the teeth bordering the space, and the false tooth is firmly suspended in place.

After your new bridge is finalized, you will most likely find yourself smiling more often and feeling more confident when you do.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are an effective way to:

• Restore a beautiful smile
• Improve your ability to speak and chew properly
