Losing one or more teeth can make daily life more difficult. Eating your favorite foods, speaking clearly, and smiling confidently may become a challenge.
At Channel Islands Family Dental Office in Thousand Oaks, we help patients restore their smiles and oral health with dental bridges that look natural, feel comfortable, and last for many years.
Our dentists in Thousand Oaks are experienced in creating custom dental bridges. We focus on each patient’s needs, combining function and appearance so you can enjoy a healthy and confident smile again.
A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace missing teeth. It works by connecting the teeth on both sides of the gap with crowns. Between these crowns, one or more artificial teeth are placed to fill the empty space. This “bridge” restores your bite and appearance while protecting your remaining teeth.
Dental bridges are made to feel and function like natural teeth. They help you:
- Chew comfortably
- Speak clearly
- Smile without feeling self-conscious
Depending on your needs, dental bridges can be made from:
- Porcelain, which provides a natural and tooth-like appearance
- Zirconia, known for strength and long-lasting results
- Metal and porcelain combinations, offering durability and resistance
Our Thousand Oaks dentist will recommend the best material for your situation, considering your bite, location of the missing tooth, and daily habits.
