Dental bridges are a common solution for replacing missing teeth, restoring both functionality and appearance. At our practice, we understand the importance of a complete, healthy smile and we are here to help you achieve that.
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge literally bridges the gap by anchoring to the surrounding natural teeth or dental implants. The bridge consists of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap and a false tooth or teeth in between.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
Choosing a dental bridge offers several advantages, including restoring your smile and confidence, improving the ability to chew and speak properly, maintaining the shape of your face and preventing remaining teeth from drifting out of position.
The Dental Bridge Procedure
Getting a dental bridge typically involves several visits to our office. Here is what you can expect:
First, we will examine your teeth, take X-rays and discuss your options to determine the best type of bridge for your situation. Next, the teeth adjacent to the gap will be prepared by removing a portion of enamel to allow room for a crown. We will then take impressions of your teeth, which serve as a model for creating the bridge, false teeth and crowns. While your custom bridge is being made, you will wear a temporary bridge to protect the exposed teeth and gums. Once your permanent bridge is ready, we will fit, adjust and cement it into place, ensuring it feels comfortable and functions well.
