Dental Bridges Marietta

At Cobb Center for Advanced Dentistry, we specialize in providing solutions for missing teeth. A dental bridge is designed to literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth.

A dental bridge consists of two or more crowns placed on the teeth adjacent to the gap (known as abutment teeth) and one or more false teeth (pontics) between them. These pontics can be crafted from materials such as gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these. Dental bridges are anchored by your natural teeth or dental implants, offering a secure and functional solution to restore your smile.

At Cobb Center for Advanced Dentistry, we offer both dental bridges and implants to address missing teeth, each with its unique approach and benefits.

Dental Implants

A dental implant involves placing a post into your jawbone through oral surgery. This post acts as an artificial root where the missing tooth’s root once was. After the jaw heals, a crown is attached to the post, creating a replacement tooth that feels and functions like a natural one.

Dental Bridges

Unlike implants, dental bridges do not replace the root of the missing tooth. Instead, they use the teeth adjacent to the gap as anchors. Crowns are placed on these adjacent teeth, and an artificial tooth (pontic) bridges the space between them.

What Does a Dental Bridge Look Like?

A dental bridge is crafted to resemble your natural teeth closely, ensuring a seamless and aesthetically pleasing result.

Is a Dental Bridge Permanent?

A fixed or permanent dental bridge is cemented to the adjacent teeth, and only a dentist can remove it. This provides a long-lasting and stable solution for missing teeth. Call us today at (770) 578-1331 for bridges in Marietta.

At Cobb Center for Advanced Dentistry, dental bridges offer several key benefits:

• Restore Your Smile: Bridges fill the gaps left by missing teeth, bringing back a full, confident smile.
• Enhance Chewing and Speaking: By replacing missing teeth, bridges improve your ability to chew properly and speak clearly.
• Maintain Facial Structure: Dental bridges help maintain the natural shape of your face by supporting your facial muscles.
• Balance Bite Forces: They distribute the forces in your bite evenly, preventing undue stress on your remaining teeth.
• Prevent Teeth from Shifting: Bridges keep your remaining teeth in their proper position, preventing them from drifting out of alignment.
