Dental Bridges

A missing tooth may not seem like a big problem unless it is easy for others to see. But even one missing tooth can create issues for your oral health beyond your appearance. At University Park Family Dentistry, our dentist, Dr. Jeffrey Turner, can see you for an appointment for a dental bridge in South Bend, Indiana. Start getting the most out of your smile!

A dental bridge is a conservative approach to a dental restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth. Unlike dental implants or different types of dentures, dental bridges are more affordable and last just as long. This fixed dental restoration is permanently anchored in your mouth using dental crowns and fills the gaps left by missing teeth for a more uniform appearance.

Some of the uses for dental bridges are:

  • Improving a smile’s appearance
  • Eliminating the need for a removable oral appliance
  • Restoring the ability to chew and talk properly
  • Preventing natural teeth from shifting

As with most dental restorations, dental bridges are custom created to fit your needs and the shape of your mouth. They restore the utility of your teeth and improve the aesthetic appearance of your smile. Dental bridges typically require two visits to our dental office to complete and are noninvasive.
