At The Center for Holistic Dental Medicine in Red Bank, New Jersey, patients will find they have access to a wide range of dental solutions for their smiles. That includes teeth replacement options such as metal-free dental bridges. A dental bridge made at our practice by Dr. Glenn A. MacFarlane can help restore the smile, allowing patients to replace missing teeth, such as the front teeth or teeth near the back of the dental arch. With the help of our team, patients can replace teeth and enjoy a beautifully restored smile!
What are the different kinds of dental bridges?
Many dental practices may use dental bridges that include a metal framework. Unfortunately, these often stand out as an apparent dental restoration and are less aesthetic than the ceramic bridge for teeth replacement. While metal bridges work just as well, many patients, especially those with metal allergies, want to avoid them. Dr. MacFarlane offers ceramic bridges as a great alternative at The Center for Holistic Dental Medicine.
What are the benefits of dental bridges versus a dental implant?
Dental bridges may have a few advantages over dental implants regarding teeth replacement. A dental bridge:
- Is more affordable than a dental implant
- Does not require oral surgery
- Is faster to place than implants and implant restorations
- Is usually covered in part or whole by patient dental insurance plans
- Does not require a healthy jawbone to place
Who is a candidate for a dental bridge?
Patients with healthy adjacent teeth that can sufficiently support a dental bridge may be great candidates for this treatment.
