Bridges

Gaps in teeth can be filled with Bridges.

Bridges create a good cosmetic appearance, but also help other teeth to fit and function better. The loss of a single tooth can have a major impact on an individual’s health and appearance. In addition to function and cosmetics, teeth depend on each other for support and positioning.

When a tooth is missing, the remaining teeth will tilt, shift, and drift out of their normal position. The degree of movement varies from case to case, based on the position of the space and the person. Teeth naturally erupt and drift forward, so generally speaking teeth opposite the space will drift forward creating unsightly spaces between teeth, and a twisted “snaggle-tooth” look. In addition to the functional and cosmetic issues that this presents, these teeth are more susceptible to decay or gum disease because they are more difficult to clean around.

All of this movement will ultimately lead to changes in the bite, putting stress on the joints, muscles and teeth. This can lead to difficulties with chewing and even changes in a person’s appearance.

A bridge can restore your teeth to normal function by replacing missing teeth and improve the entire health of your mouth by keeping the surrounding teeth in position and helping to maintain the structure of your face and jaw. Many options are available to you.

Testimonials

"My highest recommendation goes to Dr. Elliott and the Elliott Dental team. My family has been seeing Dr. Elliott for nearly 20 years. My children grew up seeing Dr. Elliott, and now, with my first grandbaby on the way, I think we are going to be a 3-generation Elliott Dental Family! Dr. Elliott and her team make a trip to the dental office fun. Really. At her practice you are treated like a person and not some number or insurance form. I highly recommend Elliott Dental as the best dentist in Chandler and all of Arizona!"

"Every once and a while you need a dentist. When I needed a Dentist Chandler, I thought about how to select a dentist that I could trust. I was reading a copy of Working Mother magazine and found Dr. Anita Elliott’s dental practice had been named one of the best places in the whole country for working mothers. As a working mom myself, I had a feeling I would be happy there. I was right. Every time I visit the office I see the same smiling faces smiling back at me. Everyone treats me with such respect and courtesy. Elliott Dental gets my highest review."
