Dental Bridges
Are you constantly dealing with food getting stuck in the space where a tooth used to be?
That missing tooth isn’t just inconvenient — it can lead to a host of long-term dental issues if left untreated.
At Grace Dental, we offer custom dental bridges to restore your smile, improve your bite, and prevent future problems from developing.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It works by anchoring to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap — called abutment teeth — and suspending an artificial tooth, or pontic, in the space. The result is a natural-looking, functional solution that allows you to chew, speak, and smile with confidence again.
Why Replace a Missing Tooth?
When a tooth is lost due to decay, trauma, or gum disease, the surrounding teeth begin to shift.
This can cause:
​
-
Bite misalignment
-
Jaw pain or TMJ issues
-
Increased risk of gum disease
-
Additional tooth loss over time
Replacing a missing tooth as soon as possible helps protect your overall oral health. A bridge is often a great option when the teeth next to the gap are strong enough to support the restoration.
