Dental Bridge Rapid City

Rapid city cosmetic dentist Dr. Jeff Loftus offers a variety of procedure to improve the health and appearance of your mouth. People who are in need of replacing missing teeth have a number of options to consider. One of those options is a dental bridge.  Using a dental bridge, Dr. Loftus is able to fill the space left by the missing tooth and improve the over all appearance of your smile.

Using neighboring teeth, a dental bridge is anchored in place to fill the space left by a missing tooth. When a lost tooth is replaced with bridgework, the teeth on either side of the missing one are prepared as crowns to serve as abutments to hold the replacement tooth in place. Crowns and bridges are most commonly created from high quality materials such as semiprecious or precious metals, porcelain, or a fused combination of the two. Depending on the location of the needed bridge, Dr. Loftus will suggest a material that will be both aesthetically pleasing and functional.

If you have a missing tooth and would like to explore your options for filling the gap and restoring your smile, contact our office to schedule your consultation. Dr. Loftus will work with you to create a plan that will address all of your dental needs.
