Bridges From Our Milpitas Dental Center

Dr. Yu understands that his patients may feel embarrassed to smile because of gaps from missing teeth. Furthermore, missing teeth can cause other health problems, which we can proactively address in our Milpitas dental center. When these spaces are left unfilled they can cause painful misalignment problems with your teeth and jaw.

Practicing in a Milpitas dental center for 25 years, Dr. Yu has a high level of success replacing missing teeth with bridges. Focusing on cosmetic dentistry allows him to provide dental bridges that restore both your beautiful smile and health!

A Fixed Bridge

Sometimes called a fixed partial denture, a bridge replaces missing teeth with prosthetic teeth. Carefully placed by Dr. Yu in his Milpitas dental center, bridges look and feel like your natural teeth.

A good candidate for a bridge is a patient with one or more missing teeth who wants a more permanent solution than a removable denture. In dentistry, this is called a fixed bridge, because it stays anchored and secured - a real plus during social situations! If implants cannot be used to replace missing teeth, a fixed bridge has more benefits than a removable prosthesis.

A fixed bridge consists of an artificial tooth or teeth that are attached on either side to crowns (often called abutment teeth). These hold the bridge securely in place. Highly trained in these solutions, Dr. Yu provides replacement teeth and crowns from our Milpitas dental center that are very lifelike, giving you a beautiful, natural-looking smile.
