Las Vegas Dental Bridges
Dental bridges at Las Vegas Dental Care are literally bridges that gap the space created by one or more missing teeth. While crowns are used to restore the function of a damaged tooth, dental bridges help Las Vegas residents to replace teeth that are missing all together.
A bridge commonly consists of two crowns used to cover the teeth on either side of the gap, as well as false tooth/teeth in between. These false teeth are known as pontics and are commonly made of porcelain, gold, alloys or a combination of these materials.
There are three main types of dental bridges:
Traditional bridges – A crown for the tooth or implant on either side of the missing tooth, with a pontic in between.
Cantilever bridges – Used when there is only one tooth present on the side of the missing tooth or teeth—often the case with rear molars.
Bonded bridges – Consist of plastic teeth and gums supported by a metal framework. Metal wings located on each side of the bridge are bonded to your existing teeth.
Crown and bridge treatments at Las Vegas Dental Care are a great way for patients in the Las Vegas area to replace imperfect or missing teeth. See if these dental restoration treatments can help you to restore your naturally beautiful smile.
