Dental bridges are an effective solution for replacing one or more missing teeth, helping to restore both functionality and aesthetics to your smile. Our dentist and team offer customized dental bridges tailored to meet the specific needs of our patients.
Understanding Dental Bridges
A dental bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth, known as pontics, that are anchored by crowns on the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. The process of getting a dental bridge typically involves several steps:
- Consultation and Planning: A thorough examination and imaging to determine the best type of bridge for your needs.
- Preparation: Shaping the abutment teeth (the teeth on either side of the gap) to accommodate the crowns.
- Impression: Taking an impression of your teeth to create a custom-fit bridge.
- Fabrication: Crafting the bridge in a dental laboratory to match the shape and color of your natural teeth.
- Placement: Cementing the bridge onto the abutment teeth or implants, restoring your smile and bite.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
- Restored Functionality: Enables normal chewing and speaking.
- Enhanced Aesthetics: Fills gaps in your smile with natural-looking teeth.
- Preventive Care: Prevents the remaining teeth from shifting out of position.
- Improved Confidence: Boosts self-esteem and confidence by restoring a complete smile.
