Dental Bridges Jacksonville, FL

Are your lost teeth causing problems? Replace your lost teeth with dental bridges!

Dental bridges are an ideal dental restoration for people who are missing one or more teeth. Dental bridges are used to “bridge” the gap in a smile. They are anchored to neighboring teeth by either dental crowns or dental implants. People who are missing teeth usually have difficulty speaking and chewing. Missing teeth are also a source of embarrassment, causing people to hide their smiles and avoid social situations.

Not many people realize how important teeth are to the appearance of their face. Teeth provide support to your lips, cheeks, and Jaw. Without them, the face can sag or droop, giving it an aged appearance.

Dr. Alexander provides dental bridges in Jacksonville FL. It is very important to replace missing teeth promptly. Once a tooth is lost, the bone begins to deteriorate. The longer the area is exposed, the more likely the bone is to suffer a significant loss. Exposed gum is also more susceptible to gum disease. We aim to restore your smile by providing a replacement option that is right for you.

Bridgework secured by dental implants provides a stronger, more effective restoration. Though a larger investment up front, there are significant long-term benefits. Dr. Alexander will help you decide what type of dental bridge is right for you.

Missing Teeth Replacement Options

All-on-four dental implants

Dental Implant: Dental implants are small titanium posts that is surgically attached to your jaw bone. To receive dental implants, patients need to have a substantial amount of healthy jaw bone structure. Dr. Alexander will perform a comprehensive exam to determine if dental implants are right for you.

Implant-supported Bridge: The implant-supported dental bridge is ideal for patients who are missing several consecutive teeth. Traditionally, dental bridges rely on neighboring teeth for support. However, due to recent advancements in dentistry, dental bridges can be fixed into place using dental implants. This creates a permanent restoration that does not require special maintenance.

Dentures: Dentures are used to replace either a full bottom or top arch of teeth. Dr. Alexander will take impressions of our teeth to ensure your dentures fit comfortably in your mouth. Dentures can also be permanently attached using All-on-Four dental implants.

All-On-Four Implant Dentures: With as few as four strategically placed dental implants, patients can receive fixed dentures. All-On-Four may be ideal for patients who may not have been ideal candidates for traditional dental implants. The All-On-Four has made permanent dentures available to a wider range of patients.
