Dental Bridge in Los Alamitos, CA
A bridge is an effective way to fill in unwanted gaps in the teeth, offering long-lasting restoration and cosmetic improvement to a patient’s smile. Beachwood Dental’s team of dentists offers 3 different dental bridging options for their Los Alamitos, CA patients. The first and most common kind of bridge used is the fixed bridge, which uses a false tooth, called a pontic, to fill the gap while 2 crowns are placed on the existing teeth around it in order to anchor the pontic in place for a secure, long-lasting result. Another option offered is the cantilever bridge that is implanted and secured on only one side. This option is typically only used on areas like the front teeth that undergo less movement and pressure. A third, more cost-effective, option that is available is the removable bridge, which is the least secure and requires more maintenance and upkeep in order for it to produce long-lasting results. Our team of highly-practiced dentists can consult with each patient individually to ensure the best option is presented to them.
