Bridges

Various restorations are presently available to improve the functionality of the mouth and overall aesthetic value. Patients with missing teeth often benefit from the placement of dental bridges. These custom-made appliances restore proper occlusion, the ability to correctly masticate and rectify impaired speech patterns.

Several different types of materials are used in the fabrication of a bridge. Porcelain-fused-to-metal bridges with metal understructure for durability are typically placed in the posterior regions of the mouth. All-ceramic bridges are frequently placed within the anterior areas to ensure flawless appearance. Implant-based bridges are recommended for patients with a sufficient alveolar ridge and impeccable oral hygiene. All types of bridges are manufactured to mimic the natural anatomy and color of the existing teeth. In many cases, the dentition can be greatly improved.

Whether you reside in Libertyville, Mundelein, Lake Forest, Gurnee, the Great Lakes Naval Station, Glenview, Northfield, Winnetka, Mortong Grove, or Skokie, your dental bridge is conveniently available at either of our two dental offices.
