Bridges

Bridges by Dr. Rule actually bridge the gap left by a missing tooth - much like the name implies. The bridge is held securely in place by the teeth on either side of the gap, which are prepared as crowns to serve as borders, holding the replacement tooth securely in place.

Much like dental crowns, bridges are usually made from semiprecious or precious metals or porcelain, or may be the result of a fused combination of the two. Dr. Rule and his Libertyville area dentistry team consider which material is most suitable for use in your mouth by carefully considering your unique aesthetics, tissue compatibility and even the level of function needed, creating the custom-designed dental solutions he is known for.

A bridge is a custom device anchored to neighboring teeth that replaces one or more missing teeth. 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 prosthetic (replacement) tooth in place.

Crowns and bridges are most commonly prepared from high quality Libertyville area dentistry materials such as semiprecious or precious metals, porcelain, or a fused combination of the two. Aesthetics, function, and tissue compatibility are considered when selecting the material most suitable for you.
