Dental Bridges

Fill Gaps in Your Smile with Custom Dental Bridges

If you’re missing teeth, a fixed dental bridge is a durable solution for chewing besides an Implant and needs proper care like we do with one’s own teeth.

How Dental Bridges Work

A dental bridge is a reliable and effective solution for filling gaps left by missing teeth. The process begins with a thorough consultation, where our dental professionals assess your oral health and discuss your specific needs. This ensures that the bridge is designed to fit seamlessly into your smile, both in terms of appearance and function.

The bridge itself consists of one or more prosthetic teeth, known as pontics, which are anchored in place by crowns on the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. These crowns, referred to as abutments, are carefully prepared to support the bridge, providing a stable and secure foundation. Depending on your individual case, the bridge can be made from a variety of durable materials, including porcelain, ceramic, or a combination of materials designed to mimic the natural look of your teeth.

Once the abutment teeth are prepared, impressions are taken to create a custom bridge that fits perfectly within your mouth. While your permanent bridge is being crafted, a temporary bridge may be placed to protect the exposed teeth and gums. When the final bridge is ready, it is securely bonded to the abutments, completing the restoration of your smile.

 


 

The Benefits of Dental Bridges

Dental bridges offer numerous benefits, making them a popular choice for patients looking to replace missing teeth. One of the most significant advantages is the restoration of your smile’s appearance. Gaps caused by missing teeth can impact your confidence and make you feel self-conscious about your smile. A dental bridge effectively fills these gaps, giving you a complete, natural-looking smile that you can be proud of.

In addition to aesthetic improvements, dental bridges also restore the functionality of your teeth. Missing teeth can make it difficult to chew food properly and may even affect your speech. By filling in the gaps, a dental bridge helps to distribute the forces in your bite evenly, making it easier to eat and speak comfortably. This not only enhances your overall quality of life but also helps to prevent further oral health issues, such as shifting teeth and jaw misalignment.

Dental bridges are also a relatively quick and minimally invasive solution compared to other tooth replacement options. While implants require surgery and a longer healing period, bridges can typically be completed in just a few visits, making them a convenient option for many patients. With proper care and maintenance, a dental bridge can last for many years, providing a durable and lasting solution to tooth loss.
