Bridges In Ballwin, MO

A conventional bridge provides a replacement for either one tooth or two or more missing teeth in a row. This bridge is anchored to two healthy teeth on either side of the gap. These two teeth are prepared for crowns. The bridge is made in our trusted dental lab with crowns at either end and replacement teeth in the middle. The crowns are placed over the prepared teeth and the replacement teeth fill the gap. 

To prepare for this type of bridge, we place two dental implants in the bone of the jaw. The bone in this area is allowed to heal and bond well with these titanium implants. When healing is complete, we prepare a porcelain bridge to replace the teeth and add attachment points to the underside of the bridge. These attachments are secured to the dental implants.
