Dental Bridges Lincoln, NE
Bridge the Gap to Restored Chewing Capabilities
If you’re missing multiple teeth, it can not only be embarrassing to speak or smile, but it can be difficult to chew and enjoy the foods you love. A dental bridge is a restoration that permanently attaches to your healthy teeth to replace your missing teeth and enable your mouth to function properly again.
Bridges look and feel natural, so nobody will know that they’re not your “real” teeth, and they’re easy to care for, so you don’t need to add any complicated steps or expensive products to your oral health care routine.

What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a prosthetic that “bridges” the gap between missing teeth. It does this by anchoring to two healthy teeth, filling in any empty spaces with a replacement tooth that both looks and feels natural.
This not only improves the appearance of your smile by eliminating these gaps, but it also allows you to chew a wider variety of foods than you would have with missing teeth.
Types of Dental Bridges
There are two main types of dental bridges: traditional and implant. Here are the main differences between the two.
Traditional Dental Bridges
Traditional dental bridges are best for patients missing one or more teeth in a row. They anchor to the healthy teeth on both sides of the gap and are securely cemented into place.
Implant Bridge
An implant bridge is better for patients who are missing multiple teeth. They are attached to the jaw via a permanent dental implant post which allows for both greater biteforce and improved stability. They also last longer than traditional dental bridges because they are permanently affixed.
The Benefits of Getting a Dental Bridge
Dental bridges offer many benefits, both cosmetic and functional, including:
- Affordability
- Restored chewing capabilities
- Attractive and natural looking
- Protection from jawbone deterioration
- The ability to replace several teeth in a row
- Long lasting
- Prevention from future bite alignment issues
