At Modern Touch Dentistry in Appleton, WI, we provide custom dental bridges to permanently replace missing teeth and restore the natural look and function of your smile. A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that is securely cemented onto the surrounding teeth to fill the gap left by one or more missing teeth.
Dental bridges are an excellent alternative to removable partial dentures. They help improve your ability to chew, speak clearly, and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of place — while enhancing the overall appearance of your smile.
Our dental bridges can be made from high-quality ceramic, porcelain, resin, or metal materials. For front teeth, ceramic bridges are often the most popular choice because they closely mimic the natural translucency and color of real teeth for a seamless and aesthetic result.
If you’re missing a tooth and looking for a long-lasting, natural-looking solution, our experienced Appleton dental team can help you determine if a dental bridge is right for you.
