Bridges
Missing one or more teeth can affect chewing and speaking, and a bridge can help make those functions easier and more secure.
A bridge replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth, literally “bridging” the gap where one or more teeth were previously. Removable bridges can be taken out and cleaned, while others are fixed and can only be removed by a dentist. Still others are supported by dental implants. Dr. Bana can advise what type of bridge is best for your specific dental situation.
