Dental Bridges
A dental bridge replaces a missing tooth by
anchoring its replacement to crowns on the adjacent teeth.
Teeth need each other for support. When one tooth is lost,
the biting force changes on the teeth next to the space,
and they begin to shift. When a tooth no longer has anything
to chew against, it begins to extrude out of the socket.
You can eventually end up losing the tooth. A missing tooth
really changes a person's smile, but a bridge is a good way
to get your smile back.
Alternatives to bridges are:
1. Implants
2. Partial Dentures

“I get competent, wonderful service from Pacific Family Dental. They always accommodate my busy schedule and I often get call backs in the evening from the doctors to make sure everything is well, even when they are not on call! I strongly recommend all the dentists.”
