Because they are custom made, bridges are barely noticeable and can restore the natural contour of teeth as well as the proper bite relationship between the upper and lower teeth. The dental bridge is composed of one or more artificial teeth and two dental crowns. The dental crowns are placed on the adjacent teeth, which are called abutment teeth, to anchor the artificial teeth, which are called pontics.<\/p>\n<h2>Do I need a bridge?<\/h2>\n<p>Your dentist may recommend a dental bridge in order to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Alleviate stress on the bite<\/li>\n<li>Enhance the beauty of your smile<\/li>\n<li>Prevent the remaining teeth from shifting in the mouth<\/li>\n<li>Improve your ability to properly eat, chew, and speak<\/li>\n<li>Restore lost facial volume and shape<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A custom dental bridge in Lindon, Utah, can typically be completed and placed in just two visits to our friendly dental office.
