Scottsdale, Arizona Dental Bridges
Missing one or more teeth and not sure where to turn for a lasting fix? Gaps in your smile can make chewing difficult, raise your risk of gum disease, and cause nearby teeth to shift. The good news is that dental bridges are available just a short drive away from Scottsdale, AZ at North Mountain Dentistry, where Dr. Justin Jones, DMD helps patients restore a confident smile.
What Is a Dental Bridge and How Does It Work?
A dental bridge is a custom-made restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth. It uses an artificial tooth, called a pontic, to bridge the gap left behind, restoring both function and natural appearance.
Left untreated, a missing tooth can make chewing harder, raise your risk of gum disease, and even affect your speech, while neighboring teeth may drift into the open space over time.
At North Mountain Dentistry, Dr. Jones reviews your dental history before recommending a solution. Every bridge is designed to blend naturally, and Scottsdale patients can expect a plan built around their needs.
Types of Dental Bridges We Offer
Fixed Bridge: A fixed bridge attaches to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap using dental crowns. The artificial tooth, or teeth, then spans the space to restore your bite and works well when neighboring teeth are strong.
Implant Bridge: An implant bridge secures artificial teeth directly to the jaw or beneath the gum tissue, rather than relying on adjacent teeth. This can offer added stability and help preserve jawbone density, and Dr. Jones will help determine if it fits your goals.
Signs You May Need a Dental Bridge
Do you notice food getting trapped in a gap, or does chewing feel uneven? These are common signs that a missing tooth is affecting your daily life, and the problem tends to worsen over time.
Missing teeth can strain nearby teeth as they shift to fill the empty space, leading to bite misalignment. A timely bridge can help prevent this chain reaction.
If you feel self-conscious about gaps when you smile or speak, a bridge can also restore your confidence. Scottsdale residents noticing these signs are encouraged to schedule an evaluation soon.
