When it comes to cosmetic dentistry, there are plenty of options available to give you the smile you’ve always wanted. At Lowitz & Meier in Cincinnati, OH, the team offers a wide range of dental care options, from dentures and porcelain veneers to dental bridges. As part of their commitment to patient care, the staff will discuss each option with you when you’re seeking to enhance or repair your smile so you can make the best choice for you.

If you’re considering getting a dental bridge, here’s what you need to know:

• What Is A Dental Bridge? A dental bridge is composed of two or more dental crowns placed on the teeth on either side of a gap with a false tooth in between. The two existing teeth and the dental crowns will serve as anchors or a “bridge” to fill the gap with a false tooth.
• What Are The Benefits Of A Dental Bridge? Cosmetically, a dental bridge will restore your smile and fill in any gaps caused by missing teeth. It will also help you maintain your face shape and alleviate any chewing or speaking issues caused by missing teeth. Plus, a dental bridge has the added benefit of preventing your remaining teeth from moving or shifting into different positions.
• What’s The Process Like? When you’re initially getting fitted for a dental bridge, your first visit will be focused on the neighboring teeth on either side of the gap. These teeth will be shaped and fitted for the appropriate crowns. Impressions of your teeth will be made so your dentist can create the perfect bridge to put over your existing teeth and fill in the gap. At the end of your first visit, a temporary bridge will be put in place; at your next appointment, the permanent porcelain or metal bridge will be installed.
