Reclaim the full function and aesthetic appeal of your smile with dental bridges, a reliable and natural-looking solution provided by our dentist and dedicated dental team. Designed for individuals missing one or more teeth, dental bridges span the gap where teeth are absent, anchored securely to the natural teeth or implants on either side. This not only restores your smile but also prevents the remaining teeth from shifting, which could lead to bite issues and discomfort.
Dental bridges are custom-crafted from high-quality materials such as porcelain or ceramic, which can be matched to the natural color of your existing teeth for a seamless look. The process of getting a dental bridge involves preparing the anchoring teeth for crowns, taking precise impressions to ensure a perfect fit and then crafting a bridge that fills the gap beautifully while restoring your bite and chewing ability.
Here is what to expect during the dental bridge process:
- Consultation and Planning: We evaluate your oral health and discusses the best type of bridge for your situation, considering your cosmetic goals and functional needs.
- Preparation of Anchoring Teeth: The teeth adjacent to the gap are prepared to support the bridge, which may involve reshaping to ensure a proper fit for the crowns that will anchor the bridge.
- Impressions and Customization: Impressions of your teeth are taken to create a custom bridge that fits perfectly and looks natural. You may be fitted with a temporary bridge while your permanent one is being made.
- Final Fitting and Adjustment: Once your custom bridge is ready, it is securely placed and adjusted to ensure a comfortable fit and optimal function.
Benefits of dental bridges include:Â
- Restored Smile: Fills the gaps in your smile with teeth that look and feel natural.
- Improved Chewing and Speaking: Bridges restore the ability to chew and speak properly, which can be affected by missing teeth.
- Maintained Facial Structure: Prevents the sagging of facial muscles that can occur with tooth loss, preserving your facial structure.
- Prevention of Teeth Shifting: Keeps remaining teeth in place, preventing them from shifting into the gap and causing bite or jaw problems.
