Fixed Bridges in Boston MA

Please mind the gap

We all want that perfect smile but sometimes it means more than straightening if you happen to be missing a tooth. If an implant is not in your cards, a bridge is an easy way to span the problem from adjacent teeth and solve that gap in your smile.

A dental implant is a non-removable restoration used to replace missing teeth. The most popular type is usually made of porcelain fused to metal. Dental Implants are most popular because they resemble your natural teeth. This type of bridge consists of two crowns that go over two anchoring teeth (abutment teeth) and are attached to pontics (artificial teeth), filling the gap created by one or more missing teeth.

Dental Implants are highly durable and will last many years, however, they may need replacement or need to be re-cemented due to normal wear. Dental Implants are made by a lab technician and thus will usually require two to three visits to complete the work.
