Missing a tooth can sneak up on you. At first, it’s just a gap you notice in the mirror. Then it starts affecting how you chew, how you talk, or how confident you feel when you smile.
If you’re looking for a dependable way to replace a missing tooth, a dental bridge may be a great solution. At The Center for High Tech Dentistry on the Upper East Side, Kaveh Abedini, DMD, Simon Rosenberg, DMD, and our team offer dental bridges for our patients, providing comfort, reliability, and a natural look.
Here are four reasons a dental bridge might be right for you:
1. It brings your smile back together
A dental bridge does exactly what its name suggests; it “bridges” the gap left by a missing tooth. The replacement tooth is custom-made to match your natural teeth, so it blends right in.
Most patients appreciate that their smile looks complete again, with nothing feeling bulky or noticeable. It’s a simple change that can make a big difference in how you feel about smiling and speaking.
2. Eating and speaking feel normal again
When a tooth is missing, everyday things like chewing or pronouncing certain words can feel awkward. A dental bridge helps restore proper bite alignment, making it easier to eat comfortably and speak clearly.
You actually might be surprised by how quickly things start to feel normal again once you fill that gap.
3. It helps protect your other teeth
Teeth like to stay where they are, but when there’s a space, neighboring teeth can start to shift. Over time, this can lead to bite issues, uneven wear, and harder-to-clean areas.
A dental bridge keeps the surrounding teeth in their proper position, helping protect your overall oral health and prevent future problems.
4. A reliable solution without a long timeline
Dental bridges have been used successfully for decades, and for good reason. They’re durable and long-lasting, and typically require fewer appointments than some other tooth replacement options. With good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, a bridge can serve you well for many years.
