Bridges are natural-looking dental appliances that can replace a section of missing teeth.
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 upper and lower teeth.
Bridges are sometimes referred to as fixed partial dentures, because they are semi-permanent and are bonded to existing teeth or implants.
There are several types of fixed dental bridges (cannot be removed), including conventional fixed bridges, cantilever bridges and resin-bonded bridges.

Anyone who participates in a sport that carries a significant risk of injury should wear a mouth protector.
Sports like basketball, baseball, gymnastics, and volleyball all pose risks to your gum tissues, as well as your teeth.
We usually think of football and hockey as the most dangerous to the teeth, but nearly half of sports-related mouth injuries occur in basketball and baseball.
A helmet can prevent serious injuries such as concussions, cerebral hemorrhages, incidents of unconsciousness, jaw fractures and neck injuries by helping to avoid situations where the lower jaw gets jammed into the upper jaw.

Are dental amalgams safe?
Is it possible to have an allergic reaction to amalgam?
Is it true that dental amalgams have been banned in other countries?
Is there a filling material that matches tooth color?
If my tooth doesn't hurt and my filling is still in place, why would the filling need to be replaced?
Read this interesting and informative discussion from the American Dental Association.
The Food and Drug Administration and other organizations of the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) continue to investigate the safety of amalgams used in dental restorations (fillings).

Before development of dental implants, dentures were the only alternative to replacing a missing tooth or teeth.
Implants are synthetic structures that are placed in the area of the tooth normally occupied by the root.
Implants are anchored to the jawbone or metal framework on the bone and act as a foundation for an artificial tooth or permanent bridge.
In some cases, implants can be used to attach dentures.
Not everyone is a candidate for a dental implant.
For a successful implant to take hold, a candidate must have proper bone density and have a strong immune system.
