Missing teeth can do more than just affect your smile, they can make everyday tasks like chewing and speaking feel frustrating and uncomfortable. At Coronado Family Dental in Albuquerque, we understand the emotional and practical challenges that come with tooth loss. That’s why Dr. Becky Chiem offers advanced restorative solutions like fixed dental bridges that not only restore your smile but bring back confidence, comfort, and function.
A fixed dental bridge is a permanent restoration designed to replace one or more missing teeth. It quite literally “bridges the gap” between remaining natural teeth using a realistic prosthetic tooth (called a pontic), which is anchored securely in place with dental crowns bonded to the adjacent teeth.
Fixed bridges are custom-made to match the color, shape, and alignment of your natural teeth, creating a seamless, long-lasting solution that functions and feels like the real thing.
