Dental Bridges - Dr. Kotansky - Scarborough Dentist

If you’re missing a tooth in the back of your mouth, the ‘out of sight out of mind’ philosophy is not the smartest way of thinking. ‘A chain is only as strong as its weakest link,’ is much more accurate.

Besides the discomfort that can come with a missing tooth, there are other problems to be mindful of. As the original tooth acted as a place holder, keeping other teeth in position, you run the risk of shifting teeth, changing the alignment of the surrounding teeth, causing them to be more susceptible to decay and gum disease.

One solution Port Union Dental can offer patients with missing teeth is called a dental bridge.

Artificial teeth are fixed and bonded in place by using adjacent teeth as anchors, a procedure which can usually be done within two to three appointments.

A dental bridge is a false tooth that can be used to replace one or more missing teeth and greatly reduces the risk gum disease and alignment issues, all while improving your smile.
