What Types of Dental Bridges Do You Offer?
In this video, Dr. Aaron Bratton explains how dental bridges offer an effective solution for replacing missing teeth when implants aren’t an option. Schedule a consultation at Atkins Dental Clinic today to explore how a custom bridge can restore your smile and function.
If you come in for an implant consultation and it turns out there isn’t enough bone to support an implant, there is still a way to replace your missing tooth. As long as the space is between two healthy existing teeth, we can restore the area using a dental bridge.
A bridge works by preparing the two adjacent teeth for crowns, which serve as anchors. The replacement tooth is attached to these crowns as a single unit, spanning the gap between them. This approach provides a strong and functional replacement when an implant isn’t an option.
While the fundamental design of a bridge remains the same, we offer different material options. Most patients opt for porcelain or ceramic for a natural appearance, but if you’re looking for something unique, we’ve also made gold bridges, and even customized a few with diamonds or other embellishments.
Our goal is to provide a solution that fits both your needs and preferences. If you have a special request, just ask—we’re happy to explore your options.
