Bellevue Dental ImplantsThough there have been a lot of improvements in dental care over the past few decades, millions of people suffer from tooth loss each year in the United States. Tooth loss usually occurs as a result of tooth decay or gum disease, though sometimes it results from injury to the mouth.

Dental implants provide many important benefits over dentures which is why this treatment has become so popular in recent years at Washington State Prosthodontics and Dental Implant Center.

Dental Bridges

bridges Dental are aptly named because they bridge gaps between two teeth. If you have missing teeth, a dental bridge can be used to fill in the space so that it appears as though all of your teeth are intact and healthy. A bridge is composed of two crowns, one on either side of the gap where the missing tooth is located. These crowns, known as abutment teeth, are used to anchor the bridge. A false tooth or teeth (known as pontics) lie between these abutments.
