You know that missing teeth affect your appearance and your ability to enjoy a variety of foods, but you may not know that missing teeth promote jawbone deterioration. In fact, the bone can deteriorate to a point that restoration becomes a complex issue. If you have one or more missing teeth in a row, Dr. Higginbottom may recommend custom crown and bridgework.
Made in a ceramic lab, a fixed bridge attaches to crowns placed on healthy abutment teeth on either side of the gap. Once placed, the bridge functions and looks like natural teeth.
You don’t have to live with missing teeth. Let Dr. Higginbottom restore functionality and sparkle to your smile. Call our Downtown Dallas dental office today to schedule a consultation to discuss your missing teeth. Patients throughout the Metroplex, including Uptown Dallas, Mesquite, and Lakewood have trusted us with their teeth for 35 years.
