When you are missing a tooth, it can have a significant effect on your smile and your appearance. The dark place where the tooth once was makes your smile look narrow and your cheeks may "cave in" because of the gap, giving you an aged, hollow look. Functionally, your other teeth may shift and you may chew differently, causing a misalignment in your bite and possibly, discomfort or pain.
A porcelain bridge is a natural-looking, non-removable tooth replacement that can complete your smile again. First, Dr. Kuzmin or Dr. Sherman will create a customized tooth, using porcelain, to perfectly fill the gap in your smile, as well as porcelain crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap. After some preparation of the neighboring teeth, the crowns are placed, with your new porcelain tooth perfectly positioned between them. This bridges the gap in your smile. Not only does a bridge look natural and incredible, it feels great as well.
