DENTAL BRIDGES

IN WARREN, NJ

Bridges are generally used to replace one or more missing teeth and "bridge" the gap where teeth are missing.  Gaps from missing teeth can eventually cause the remaining teeth to shift or rotate which can result in a bad bite, gum disease or even TMJ disorders.

​

Bridges are cemented to the natural teeth or implants surrounding the empty space.  Called abutments, these teeth serve as anchors for the bridge.  Similar to crowns, porcelain or ceramic bridges are typically recommended since this material can be matched to the color of your natural teeth.

​

Your dentist at The Star Dental Group of Warren may recommend a bridge to: 

  • Restore your smile 

  • Enable you to properly chew and speak 

  • Prevent remaining teeth from shifting or rotating 

  • Maintain the shape of your face 

  • Restore your teeth's proper bite

WHY YOU MAY

NEED A DENTAL BRIDGE

Dentist in Warren, NJ

When teeth are missing, a series of changes may begin to develop that can impact your overall dental health and jaw function. The adjacent teeth may start to drift or tilt into the space, and teeth in the opposing jaw may start to shift toward the area of the missing tooth. It is therefore important to replace either the single tooth or multiple teeth that are missing from this area. One of the best options to prevent the consequences of shifting teeth and to restore full function to a small edentulous (or lacking teeth) section in the mouth is a dental bridge.

DENTAL BRIDGES FAQs

Dentist in Warren, NJ
  • What is a dental emergency?
    Toothaches: Pain is your body's way of signaling that something is not quite right and though there are many reasons for oral pain, one of the most common complaints and reasons for seeking urgent dental care is a toothache. Whether you simply need a dental filling, a crown, or require a root canal procedure to save your tooth, we'll alleviate your discomfort and restore the look and function of the involved tooth. Dental Trauma: Dental trauma can result in a defect as minor as a small chip in tooth enamel to a more extensive and painful crack or fracture. With sufficient force, a tooth can even be displaced or completely knocked out of its socket. With prompt emergency care, many injured teeth can be restored and saved. Wisdom Teeth: The last teeth in your mouth to develop, wisdom teeth often do not have enough room to fully erupt or may be positioned in the wrong direction. These issues can affect your dental health as well as overall well-being. Our office provides skilled care to address the complications caused by problematic wisdom teeth. Broken or Lost Dental Appliances: A broken or lost dental prosthesis or restoration can cause embarrassing gaps in your smile as well as compromise your ability to eat and speak with ease. If you've lost or broken a dental filling, denture, crown, or other dental appliance, you can rely on our office to perform a prompt repair or provide a durable and cosmetically pleasing replacement as quickly as possible.
