Dental Bridges

Your teeth can be lost due to a number of different reasons. Damages to your teeth caused by tooth decay, oral injuries, or periodontal disease can result in single or multiple missing teeth. Unlike discolored, stained or yellowed teeth that can be improved with teeth whitening, teeth that are missing are gone forever. Dr. Khoubnazar, Santa Monica cosmetic dentist uses modern technology to restore your smile and cover your missing teeth using dental bridges.

A dental bridge is constructed with two or more dental crowns to provide a permanent covering for your missing teeth. The crowns are precision manufactured to resemble your teeth color and match the size of your surrounding teeth. One of the major benefits to using a cosmetic dental bridge is the ability to have it placed on your upper and lower teeth. This easily transforms your smile and provides a permanent covering for your missing teeth.

When your missing teeth are not corrected, the empty spaces can become more susceptible to bacterial growth that can escalate into gum disease or other oral diseases. Your teeth can begin to shift due to the empty space along your gum line. Our Santa Monica dentist, Dr. Khoubnazar, can help to realign your smile by installing a dental bridge. The bridge is attached to your surrounding teeth to provide permanent support.

It is common to experience eating or speaking difficulties when single or multiple teeth are missing. The application of a dental bridge can help to improve speech and eating difficulties. An in-depth evaluation by Dr. Khoubnazar can help determine the severity of any problems with your teeth or gum line. Teeth still need to be cleaned before the application of any dental device to ensure that the working area is free from bacterial growth.

A dental bridge is a safe and easy way to upgrade your smile. Your normal oral hygiene routine does not have to change and regular brushing and flossing can still be performed each day. Routine dental cleanings and checkups are recommended by Dr. Khoubnazar to help keep your teeth, gum line, and dental bridge healthy and white.
