Dental bridges are a reliable and effective solution for replacing one or several missing teeth. They help restore your smile, improve chewing and speaking ability, and maintain the natural shape of your face by filling the gaps left by missing teeth.
Tooth crowding
Bone loss at the missing tooth site and the adjacent teeth
Facial asymmetry or changes to lower face shape
Decay on surrounding teeth
What to Expect
Dental bridges can be created to help restore your smile and function like your natural, permanent teeth. Bridges for teeth can be completed in two to three visits: an initial preparation visit, a follow-up fit visit, and an insert/delivery visit.
Before Treatment
Before treatment, be sure to use preventative oral hygiene to ensure your teeth are as clean as possible. Be able to identify any problems you are having with your teeth and let your dentist know.
During Treatment
While the teeth are numb, two or more anchoring teeth are prepared. A portion of the enamel will be removed to allow space for a dental crown. Next, a highly accurate impression is made or a digital scan is taken, which will be sent to a dental laboratory so your bridge can be fabricated. A temporary dental bridge will be made, which covers and protects the prepared teeth. You are able to function and chew with your temporary bridge.
After Treatment
To ensure the longevity of your permanent dental bridge, be sure to brush and floss under the bridge every day. Routine dental visits are also very important to maintaining your new fixed bridge.
