What Are Dental Bridges in Wilmington?

A dental bridge will fill the space left by the loss of one or more teeth, and it a beautiful solution to a smile that is compromised by lost teeth.

Fixed bridges span the space (or “bridge the gap”) left by one or more missing teeth. It is bonded or cemented in place and will function like your own teeth. Your youthful smile will be restored! There is no need to remove the bridge from the mouth for cleaning – in fact, your new bridge will adhere so efficiently that only the dentist can remove it. You will be able to chew, speak, and smile with confidence!

A fixed bridge is attached to your natural teeth. Gold, porcelain-fused-to-metal, and all-porcelain artificial teeth are options to consider. 

We may also recommend a “Maryland Bridge, which is a resin-bonded fixed bridge. This type of bridge allows us to replace one or multiple missing teeth. Because it is bonded into place, no crowns or alteration of existing healthy teeth is necessary. Dr. Gladnick can determine whether this restorative dental treatment method is appropriate for you.

Benefits of Non-Metal Dental Bridges

Dental bridges offer a reliable solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring both function and aesthetics. Here’s how non-metal bridges and bridges in general benefit your smile:

Improve Smile Aesthetics

Non-metal bridges eliminate the grey shadow often visible with traditional metal-based bridgework. They are crafted from high-quality porcelain or ceramic materials, ensuring your replacement teeth are virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth for a seamless smile.

Restore Chewing Function

Bridges restore the ability to chew and speak with ease, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and communicate without difficulty. We securely bond the restoration in place, providing stability and durability so you can go about your day confidently and comfortably.

Preserve Tooth Alignment

Bridges fill the gap left by missing teeth, preventing a sagging facial appearance and helping to stop neighboring teeth from shifting out of position. This maintains the integrity of your smile, gives your face a fuller appearance, and contributes to better long-term oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dental bridges are a popular solution for replacing missing teeth and come in various materials, including metal and non-metal options. At Justison & Gladnick Family Dentistry, we specialize in providing non-metal bridges, as they offer several advantages in terms of aesthetics and biocompatibility.

Metal Bridges

Metal bridges may be made from alloys containing gold, nickel, or chromium and are known for their strength and durability. However, their metallic color can be a significant disadvantage for patients concerned about a natural look, as they do not blend seamlessly with natural teeth.

Non-Metal Bridges

Non-metal bridges, such as those made from porcelain or zirconia, are favored for their aesthetic appeal. These materials can be matched to the color of your natural teeth, providing a more discreet and attractive appearance.

While non-metal bridges might not be as strong as metal ones, they are sufficiently durable for most patients and offer superior aesthetic results. These types of bridges are also appropriate for patients who prefer metal-free dentistry.
