Restoring Your Smile
Restore Your Smile, Your Bite, and Your Confidence
Missing a tooth isn’t just a cosmetic concern.
Even one missing tooth can affect the way you chew, speak, smile, and even how your remaining teeth fit together. Over time, neighboring teeth can begin shifting into the empty space, your bite may change, and everyday activities like eating can become more difficult.
At Gresham Advanced Dentistry, we provide custom dental bridges for patients throughout Gresham, Troutdale, Fairview, Wood Village, Sandy, East Portland, and surrounding communities who want a natural-looking way to replace missing teeth.
Every bridge is custom-designed to match your smile, restore your bite, and help you feel confident again. Whether you’ve recently had a tooth extracted or have been living with a missing tooth for years, we’ll help you understand your options and determine whether a dental bridge is the right solution for you.
Understanding Bridges
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a custom-made restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by “bridging” the gap between healthy teeth. The bridge is supported by the natural teeth on either side of the missing space, which are fitted with custom dental crowns. Between those crowns sits one or more artificial teeth carefully crafted to match your surrounding teeth in color, shape, and size.
The result is a restoration that looks natural, restores your ability to chew comfortably, and helps maintain proper alignment of your remaining teeth.
Why Replace a Missing Tooth?
When a tooth is lost, your mouth begins changing almost immediately. Replacing a missing tooth can help:
The sooner a missing tooth is replaced, the easier it often is to prevent future dental complications.
