Dental Bridges – Dentist in Arlington heights il

When you have a missing tooth, it is absolutely important that steps are taken to prevent the surrounding teeth from shifting around together to fill the void. The moving of the teeth to fill such the gap is called “malocclusion.” Malocclusion causes numerous oral problems including constant biting of the tongue, lips and mouth as teeth shift; an uncomfortable bite; tooth breakage; difficulty speaking and undesirable appearance.

Dental bridges, as the name implies, create a bridge between remaining teeth – filling in the void with an artificial tooth that is shaped and colored like the tooth that was lost. The rigid bridge prevents malocclusion, facilitates natural chewing and speaking and improves appearance.
