Dental Bridges

Discover the benefits of dental bridges and the transformative power they bring to your smile and dental health. A dental bridge is a fixed, non-removable solution for replacing missing teeth, designed to last many years with proper care. Let us guide you through the options to find the best bridge for your needs.

Among the various types available, the traditional dental bridge is the most sought-after. Made from porcelain fused to metal, this bridge seamlessly fills the gap left by missing teeth. It uses two crowns placed over the neighboring teeth, known as abutment teeth, to support the artificial teeth, or pontics, that fill the space.

Why consider a fixed dental bridge?

It’s more than just an aesthetic solution. A dental bridge helps fill the space of missing teeth, maintain your facial shape, and prevent neighboring teeth from shifting out of position. It restores your ability to chew and speak confidently and enhances your smile, all while upgrading from a removable partial denture to a permanent dental appliance.

What can you expect during the procedure?

The process typically involves two or more appointments. Initially, the adjacent teeth are carefully prepared by removing a portion of enamel to make way for crowns. An accurate mold of your teeth is then taken and sent to a specialized lab where your custom bridge is crafted. In the interim, you’ll wear a temporary bridge to maintain function and appearance.

During your second visit, your permanent bridge is checked for perfect fit, adjusted, and secured in place. Sometimes, ou dentist may temporarily cement the bridge to allow time for your mouth to adapt. A follow-up ensures a permanent fit, securing your bridge for the long haul.

To maximize the longevity of your dental bridge, adhere to recommended care instructions, which include proper brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups. Invest in a dental bridge and enjoy the confidence of a complete, healthy smile today!
