Complete Your Smile and Restore Your Oral Function with Dental Bridges
Dental bridges from Natalie K. Provenzano DDS, Inc. will restore lost teeth, bolster remaining teeth, and help you maintain optimal dental health. If you are confronted with tooth loss in San Jose, California, dental bridges installed by Dr. Natalie Provenzano can be the right remedial choice. Dental bridges halt the domino effects of tooth loss for improved overall wellness.
How dental bridges work
A dental bridge consists of a set of artificial teeth placed on the space created by the lost teeth. Dental crowns secure the false teeth (pontics), anchored to the adjacent teeth (abutments) on either side of the space.
Patients without healthy abutment teeth can still benefit from dental bridges. Your bridge can be supported by implants anchored directly to the jawbone. Implant-supported bridges combine the beauty of bridges and the function and stability of implants to deliver superior teeth replacements.
Can dental bridges replace teeth in the back and front?
People missing teeth in the back or front can rejuvenate their smile with dental bridges. We design our crowns and bridges using unrivaled materials to deliver optimal results with function and aesthetics in mind. When we use bridgework to replace your missing front teeth, the results are so natural that no one will notice you have a teeth replacement.
But what about back teeth? Esthetics aren’t the only reason to replace lost teeth. Vacant spaces in your posterior teeth may hinder your chewing ability, keeping chewy and hard foods off your menu. Besides, empty spaces in your mouth cause the surrounding teeth to tilt, affecting your bite and triggering health complications like TMJ disorder.
We create dental bridges using incredibly strong materials to withstand the daily stress of chewing and grinding teeth. When dental bridges replace your back teeth, they stabilize your bite and prevent the other teeth from shifting.
Benefits of dental bridges
Even if you are missing one tooth, Dr. Provenzano knows tooth loss is a serious issue, so treat it as soon as possible. If we recommend bridge treatment to overcome tooth loss, you reap many benefits, such as:
- Easy maintenance
- Durability
- Renewed confidence
- Restored oral function and smile esthetics
- Stability in the remaining teeth
- Missing teeth restored in as little as 2 weeks, and as few as 2 visits
