Dental Bridges

In some patients, the lost of molars tend to move the remaining healthy teeth farther away from each other. This may cause a small gap to appear between the teeth. If the problem is a minor one, instead of having to wear braces, the dentist could custom-made a false tooth to fill in this gap and this is called the dental bridge. It is usually made of metal-free materials which create a natural look and also reduces the risk of gum disease. After the procedure, a minor tenderness in the area is expected but can be easily relieved by pain medications.
