We know the toll missing teeth can take on patients. From the effects on your appearance to a drop in self-confidence in daily function, it can be a disheartening condition to endure. Fortunately, dental bridges are a simple and affordable way to restore the gaps in your smile and bring it back to its full potential. Explore the possibilities of expert dental bridges with our team and smile self-assuredly once again.
A dental bridge is a prosthetic device that effectively fills the space left by one or more missing teeth. This appliance consists of a small series of artificial teeth that match your natural smile. The middle section of the tooth bridge fills the gap in your smile, while the ends of the bridge are securely attached to neighboring natural teeth or dental implants using dental crowns. By “bridging” the gaps, dental bridges create a seamless and natural-looking smile.
Dental bridges are ideal for replacing one to four teeth that are missing in a row. They provide a quick and affordable option to restore your smile’s appearance and improve oral function. They also help prevent adjacent teeth from shifting, ensuring the overall stability of your dental structure and preventing the need for orthodontics.
There are a few considerations beyond tooth loss before receiving a tooth bridge. It’s crucial that the surrounding teeth that will support the bridge are in good health. This ensures there are no complications when preparing and placing the crowns that hold the bridge in place. Patients should also be free of gum disease that could cause complications in the future. During your consultation, we’ll assess your oral health and support you with any necessary treatments so you can enjoy a full smile once again.
Our approach begins with a comprehensive assessment, including digital X-rays, to determine the most suitable bridge option for you. We’ll then take precise impressions of your teeth to craft the perfect fitting bridge. The adjacent teeth to the missing gap are then prepared to support the bridge by removing a small amount of enamel. A temporary bridge is then put in place to protect your teeth until the permanent bridge is prepared.
Once your custom-made permanent bridge is ready, we’ll invite you back for a final fitting. Our experts will set the bridge in place, making any necessary adjustments for a perfect fit and shade match to your natural teeth. The bridge is then securely cemented into place, ensuring a long-lasting restoration that will give you a new smile to cherish.
Dental bridges and dental implants are the most common options for a single tooth replacement. The final decision depends on your unique circumstances and preferences, but there are several advantages teeth bridges have that are worth considering:
