Of course, there\u2019s the concern about the appearance of your smile, but beyond that you also may not be able to speak clearly or eat the foods that are part of a nutritious diet, such as raw fruits and vegetables. If you are contending with any of these difficulties, then consider getting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hillavenuedental.com\/dental-bridges.html\">dental bridge<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hillavenuedental.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">Hill Avenue Dental<\/a> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hillavenuedental.com\/contact-us.html\">Superior, WI<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the troubles named above, missing teeth can also bring about a change in your bite, cause other teeth to shift out of place, bring on symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), and increase the risk for periodontal disease and tooth decay.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dental Bridges in Superior, WI<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A bridge is a dental prosthetic that fills the space left by one to three missing teeth. This bridge is held securely in place by dental crowns, which are adhesively bonded to the teeth that are on either side of the missing teeth. In turn, these crowns support the pontic, or false tooth or teeth that replace your damaged or missing teeth.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a candidate for a dental bridge, Dr. Doug Clark, Jr. or Dr. Doug Clark III will first need to prep the teeth that support the bridge. If these teeth are decayed or worn down, we may need to restore them before they can be outfitted for crowns.<\/p>\n<p>Next, we\u2019ll take impressions of your teeth in order to create model that will be used to design a bridge that fits perfectly across the gap and matches your bite. A perfect fit is critical in order to avoid any dental health problems down the road. While your bridge is fabricated in our trustworthy dental lab, you\u2019ll wear a temporary bridge so the teeth and gums are protected from damage. When the permanent bridge is ready, simply return to Hill Avenue Dental for one more visit when we\u2019ll fit and cement the bridge in to place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Schedule an Appointment Today<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you would like to determine whether or not a dental bridge is the right choice to mend your smile, then call Hill Avenue Dental today for a consultation. We serve patients in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hillavenuedental.com\/contact-us.html\">Superior, WI<\/a>, as well as from Duluth, Douglas County, Northern Wisconsin and Northeastern Minnesota.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you have a damaged or missing tooth, then you know the consequences are anything but pleasant.
