What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is a customized solution that replaces one or more missing teeth in a row. A traditional bridge has an artificial tooth (or teeth) supported by adjacent teeth, capped off by crowns. A dental bridge doesn’t just fill gaps in your mouth. It restores oral function and prevents the nearby teeth from tilting out of place.
Our dental bridges are crafted from natural-looking materials to achieve a seamless appearance. Once placed, your dental bridge appears as an extension of your remaining teeth. They are undetectable even when used on front teeth.
Can I stabilize my dental bridge with implants?
Traditional dental bridges are supported by natural teeth. However, the dentist can use dental implants to provide more stability to your bridge. An implant-supported bridge is more secure and offers several unique benefits, including bone preservation. While implant bridges may be more expensive, many patients find them worthwhile.
What can I expect from the dental bridge procedure?
We can place most dental bridges in 2-3 visits. The first step is a consultation to determine your suitability for a bridge. If so, the dentist gently prepares the support teeth and takes digital impressions. We then send the scans to our partner lab, which has consistently produced top-tier restorations over the years.
Once we receive the bridge, we’ll inspect its fit and use dental cement to bond it in place. It may feel a little unfamiliar at first as your mouth adjusts to the new sensation. Give it a few days. Soon, it will feel completely natural, like it has always been part of your smile.
What are the benefits of dental bridges?
A dental bridge is more than a tooth replacement. From boosting confidence to enhancing chewing ability, dental bridges offer numerous life-changing benefits.
Here’s a closer look:
- Get your confident smile back: A bridge replaces the missing tooth with one that looks natural. No one needs to know it isn’t real. You can laugh freely, smile widely, and feel like yourself again.
- Enjoy eating again: Missing teeth make chewing awkward. A bridge brings back your chewing ability. Suddenly, biting into an apple or enjoying your favorite meal feels normal again.
- Improved speech: Gaps, especially at the front, can affect how you pronounce certain words. A bridge fills the space, helping you speak naturally.
- Keep your bite aligned: Teeth love to drift into empty spaces. A bridge keeps everything aligned. It protects your bite and helps prevent bigger problems down the road.
- Long-lasting solution: Bridges can last 5-10 years with good upkeep. Maintain good oral hygiene and schedule routine visits to prolong the lifespan of your bridges.
- Maintain your facial structure: Missing teeth can affect the appearance of your cheeks and jawline. A bridge supports your facial structure, so you maintain a natural profile.
