What Is a Dental Bridge?
In this video, experienced implant dentist Luz Cabrera, DMD, explains different styles of dental bridges and how they are used to replace sections of missing teeth.
Traditionally, when replacing a missing tooth, we often needed to use the two adjacent teeth as support for a bridge, as shown in this model. The bridge is cemented permanently in place. However, with the use of mini implants, we can offer an alternative approach.
We no longer need to involve the adjacent teeth. Instead, we place a mini implant and then restore it permanently with a crown, just like before. If you’re interested in this more efficient and tooth-friendly solution, please give us a call. I’d be delighted to assist you with your dental needs.
