Dental Bridges

If you are missing a tooth, a dental bridge is one of the replacement options at Skarr Family Dental of Waukesha.  When you visit Skarr Family Dental we will help you determine whether a bridge or dental implant is a better choice for your tooth replacement needs.

A bridge replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth, looks great, and literally “bridges the gap” where one or more teeth may have been.  The restoration consists of two or more supporting crowns connected to the replacement teeth and all are held together and placed as one single unit.   Bridges can be made from gold, porcelain or a combination of these materials and are cemented permanently onto the teeth next to the space.  When replacing a tooth with an implant, the adjacent teeth are not affected and the implant crown fills only the space of the missing tooth.  Regardless of what type of restoration you choose, its success depends on its foundation. Therefore, it is very important to keep your remaining teeth and gums healthy and strong.

At Skarr Family Dental we will educate you about the tooth replacement options available for your specific situation. Call Skarr Family Dental today 262.542.4827 to schedule an appointment for a healthy new smile.
