Fixed Bridges

If missing teeth or gaps in your smile make it difficult to chew or leave you feeling awkward about your appearance, a dental bridge might be the best solution. The missing tooth is replaced by an artificial tooth that is supported by crowns on the adjacent teeth.

A dental fixed bridge is a good option for you if you have one or more missing teeth that are causing the following issues:

Difficulty chewing or talking

Remaining teeth are shifting

Jaw pain, headaches and other problems due to an uneven bite

Self-consciousness about showing your smile with missing teeth

Dental bridges are composed of natural looking artificial teeth that fill the spaces left by missing teeth. A fixed bridge can restore a comfortable bite and an attractive smile.

Maryland Bridge

Do you have a missing tooth that leaves a gap when you smile? An option for replacement of the missing tooth might be a Maryland Bridge. One of the benefits of the Maryland Bridge is the minimal preparation required to the adjacent teeth.

A porcelain replacement tooth is bonded to the adjacent teeth. There have also been times that a patient’s actual tooth can be bonded to provide a natural appearance.

Maryland Bridges are especially useful for the following dental problems:

Younger patients who have completed orthodontic care and have a missing tooth

Congenitally missing teeth

Front teeth that have been lost due to gum disease

Front teeth lost due to accidents

People who do not want to have implant replacement

People who do not want their adjacent natural teeth altered

Dr. Kirk has made numerous Maryland Bridges for his patients with great success. A Maryland Bridge can be an excellent option for the replacement of your missing tooth. Let Joplin Family Dental help you have a smile you are proud to share with others.

I’ve been going to Joplin Family Dental for 6-7 years. The staff are so friendly and helpful. And we love Dr. Kirk. My son is physically challenged and they’ve always really worked to make it the easiest possible. Beth, our hygienist, is super and we love her, too. As a formerly anxious dental patient, I highly recommend Joplin Family Dental.

Always happy to see the folks in the reception desks. They are friendly and always willing to help as needed. They're genuinely interested in the welfare of my family. Lisa is my hygienist. She understands my particular needs and sees to it that they are met. I feel totally relaxed having Lisa delve around in my mouth. My experience with others within the practice are equally positive.

Where to start, I’ve been a patient here for some time and while all the staff from the receptionist to my hygienist, Beth is great. Devon is my favorite. She’s very personal and caring and so knowledgeable I’m what she does. Definitely, in my opinion what keeps me coming back.
