Dental Services
Restore your smile’s strength and beauty at eyeSMILE. A missing tooth or teeth can create more than just a gap; it can lead to bite problems, a “sunken face” look, and difficulty chewing. At eyeSMILE, our custom dental bridges provide a permanent, seamless solution, using advanced techniques to restore function and confidence.
The Problem
- A missing tooth or teeth
- Potential bite and jaw joint problems from teeth shifting to fill the space
- The “sunken face” look associated with missing teeth
- Desire to improve chewing ability
- Desire for a more permanent solution than dentures
The Solution: A Fixed, Comfortable Fit
A dental bridge is a single appliance that “bridges” the gap left by missing teeth. Unlike removable dentures, a fixed bridge is stable and permanent, working just like your natural teeth.
- Custom Design: We prepare the teeth on either side of the gap for crowns and use highly accurate digital impressions to ensure a perfect fit.
- Premium Materials: Bridges are crafted in a laboratory from durable, natural-looking porcelain or gold.
Permanent Results: The bridge is securely cemented into place, preventing other teeth from shifting and causing potential jaw joint problems.
Unlike dentures, a fixed bridge is never removed. It is stable in the mouth and works very similar to natural teeth. By filling the gap and stopping the movement of other teeth, a fixed bridge is an excellent investment, providing better chewing ability, heading off jaw joint problems and saving money that might otherwise be spent on future dental treatment.
Fixed bridges are excellent restorations and have few disadvantages. They are highly durable, but they will eventually need to be re-cemented or replaced due to normal wear.
In the event that the use of a fixed bridge is not feasible, the best alternative is a dental implant.
