Missing teeth will certainly have a negative effect on your appearance, but they can also make it harder for your smile to do everything you need it to do and can lead to damage to your other teeth. Our Coral Gables dentist can create dental bridges in Coral Gables, Florida, which can fill in the space left by a single missing tooth or two or more teeth in a row. To see if this restoration would be a good fit for your smile, call Gables Exceptional Smiles at 305-442-9499 and plan your visit with Dr. Michael Perez.

If you are missing a single tooth or multiple teeth in a row, we may recommend a dental bridge to restore your smile. A bridge is a fixed dental restoration, meaning it is nonremovable. The dental bridge is anchored in place through the use of two dental crowns, which are custom made to fit your smile and are placed on the teeth or dental implants next to the space left by the missing tooth. These crowns hold the artificial tooth in place to restore your smile, ensuring that your restoration will not easily shift or come loose. It typically requires only two visits to our practice to complete a dental bridge. Dental bridges are designed to last for many years and to restore the function, beauty and health of your smile.

Our dentist may recommend a dental bridge to improve your smile by:

• Restoring your ability to speak, eat and chew normally

• Alleviating excess stress on the bite

• Improving the shape and volume of your face

• Replacing an unwanted removable partial denture

• Preventing the remaining natural teeth from moving out of position

• Enhancing the appearance of your smile

We will help you determine whether a custom dental bridge is the right choice for restoring your smile after tooth loss. For more information, please call or visit us today.
