Naperville Cosmetic Dentist on the Benefits of Dental Bridges

Naperville cosmetic dentist David Newkirk, DDS discusses common benefits of dental bridges, which can both restore a patient’s bite and enhance their smile.

NAPERVILLE, IL, UNITED STATES, January 28, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- According to Naperville cosmetic dentist David Newkirk, DDS, missing teeth can lead to a variety of complications. Dr. Newkirk explains that the loss of one or multiple teeth can hinder the ability to eat, chew, and speak effectively, as well as contribute to issues such as gum disease, jawbone deterioration, and misalignment.

For this reason, Dr. Newkirk states, many patients who have experienced

tooth loss are eligible for tooth replacement solutions, such as dental bridges. A dental bridge is a restoration designed to fill the gap created by one or more missing teeth. While various types of bridges exist, a traditional bridge features an artificial tooth (or “pontic”) secured by dental crowns.

Dr. Newkirk notes that when properly crafted and placed by a skilled dentist, bridges can:

• Restore the bite
• Enhance the appearance of the smile
• Prevent concerns associated with tooth loss (e.g., jawbone deterioration, misalignment)
• Support the facial structure
• Require no maintenance other than regular cleanings and exams
• Provide a long-lasting, affordable tooth replacement

Furthermore, Dr. Newkirk encourages patients considering dental bridges to seek the care of an experienced cosmetic dentist. This type of provider, he states, can ensure patients receive optimal results.
