If you’re living with missing teeth, then you know all about the pitfalls. Missing teeth can cause remaining teeth to shift out of place, prevent you from eating a balanced diet, and impair your self-esteem. The good news is that OKC general dentist Dr. Brooks offers an affordable, dependable solution to replace missing teeth – crown and bridgework.
Crown and bridgework sounds confusing, but it’s really a simple process. Typically, the restoration consists of two parts: the replacement tooth and the crowns that will attach to healthy, neighboring teeth. The replacement tooth attaches to the crowns on either side, and the crowns are bonded to the teeth that surround the gap. Crown and bridgework literally bridges the gap created by a missing tooth.
With crown and bridgework, Dr. Brooks can replace a single tooth or even two adjacent missing teeth, as long as healthy teeth are available to support the bridge. Modern materials, such as stronger porcelains, have resulted in bridges that look more natural than ever. Dr. Brooks can precisely match your tooth color to restore your smile to its original brilliance.
If you’re missing teeth and want an affordable and attractive option to replace them, consider crown and bridgework with Dr. Brooks.
