Dental Bridges

Missing teeth can have a negative impact on your appearance. But beyond that, that empty space in your smile can give plaque an extra place to accumulate, limit your menu choices and make it difficult to speak properly. In addition, your remaining teeth have room to drift out of their proper alignment, which could result in future tooth damage. Instead of compensating for the problem, call Southern Boulevard Dental Corporation at 505-892-8600. Our dentists, Dr. Martin G. Goebbel & Dr. Benjamin Waites, may be able to solve the problem with an appointment for a dental bridge.

If you are missing one or more teeth, we may recommend dental bridges as an option to restore the health, function and beauty of your smile. A dental bridge is a fixed (nonremovable) restoration that is attached with two custom-made dental crowns. This restoration is attached to your natural teeth or dental implants that are placed next to the site of the missing tooth, depending on your condition. The crowns will hold the artificial tooth in place and help ensure it stays secure over time.

Receiving a dental bridge usually takes two visits with our dentist. Dental bridges can improve your oral health and quality of life in many ways, including:

• Restoring your ability to speak, eat, chew and smile with ease and confidence

• Restoring the natural volume and shape of your face

• Easing excess stress on your bite

• Preventing your other teeth from shifting from their natural position

• Giving you a full, healthy and more attractive smile that can improve your confidence

We are dedicated to helping you both maintain and restore your oral health. We understand that a healthy and full smile can make all the difference in the world. To learn more about dental bridges, please contact us today!
