Dental Bridges
Dental bridges offer a reliable and effective solution for replacing one or more missing teeth, restoring both the function and aesthetics of your smile. At Dr. Tooth Advanced Dental Care, we specialize in providing high-quality dental bridge services to help our patients regain confidence in their smiles and improve their oral health.
A dental bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth, known as pontics, which are anchored in place by dental crowns or abutment teeth on either side of the gap. The crowns are placed over the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants to provide stability and support for the bridge, bridging the gap created by the missing teeth.
There are several types of dental bridges available, including traditional bridges, cantilever bridges, and Maryland bridges. The most suitable option for you will depend on factors such as the location of the missing teeth, the condition of the adjacent teeth, and your personal preferences.
The process of receiving a dental bridge typically involves two or more appointments. During the initial consultation, our experienced team will evaluate your oral health, discuss your treatment goals, and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
To prepare the abutment teeth for the bridge, a small amount of enamel may be removed to make room for the dental crowns. Impressions of the prepared teeth are then taken and sent to a dental laboratory, where the bridge is custom-made to ensure a precise fit and natural appearance.
Once the bridge is ready, you will return to our office for the final placement. Our dentists will carefully place and cement the bridge onto the prepared teeth or implants, ensuring a secure fit and comfortable bite. With proper care and maintenance, a dental bridge can last for many years, providing you with a restored smile that looks and feels great.
