What are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are natural-looking appliances that can fill in the gap caused by missing teeth. Our bridges are natural-looking, custom-made, and barely noticeable teeth replacements.
Dental bridges are just like they sound; they are dental appliances that “bridge” the gap in your smile. The dental bridge contains two parts: the abutments and the pontics.
By utilizing dental bridges, we can not only restore your smile by replacing missing teeth but also provide a more natural appearance.

Care & Maintenance of Dental Bridges
Proper care of your dental bridges will allow your new dental restoration to last for 10 years or longer. Luckily, dental bridges are fairly simple to maintain, as you should treat them like your natural teeth.
Make sure to brush and floss around the dental bridge daily. You should also avoid eating sticky or hard foods that could damage the appliance. In addition to daily care, it is important to maintain regular visits to Dr. Adamson for proper care and cleanings.
If you do have an issue with your dental bridge, call our office immediately for assistance, as we can get you in for an appointment to fix the bridge.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Bridges?
Dr. Adamson works with each individual to determine the best treatment options, taking into account your specific dental and general health needs.

For these reasons and more, dental bridges are a standard restorative dentistry treatment that is successful for many patients.
Dental Implants vs Dental Bridges
We offer both custom dental bridges and implants. If you are considering your teeth replacement options, these should both be on your radar.
Dental implants and dental bridges both:
Dental bridges offer:
Dental implants stabilize your jawbone, preventing deterioration and jaw pain. Dental bridges don’t replace your natural tooth root.
One option for your restoration is using a bridge placed on an implant, so your jaw is stabilized while you get to experience the benefits of dental bridges.
