Dental Bridges
Say goodbye to the gap in your smile! A dental bridge is a fixed, non-removable appliance, offering an exceptional solution for replacing missing teeth. This dependable dental option is available in various types to suit your specific needs, with the “traditional bridge” being the most sought-after. Typically crafted from porcelain fused to metal, this bridge type boasts two crowns that cover the anchoring teeth (abutment teeth) and are attached to pontics (artificial teeth) to seamlessly close the gap from one or more missing teeth.
Experience the Benefits of a Fixed Bridge:
- Fill in the gap from missing teeth, restoring the completeness of your smile.
- Maintain your facial structure, preserving its natural shape.
- Prevent your remaining teeth from wandering out of place.
- Regain your ability to chew and speak confidently.
- Transition from a removable partial denture to a permanent, stable dental appliance.
What to Expect When Getting a Fixed Bridge:
Your journey to a restored smile typically involves a couple of visits. Your dentist will begin by numbing the area and preparing the anchor teeth by removing a portion of enamel. Following this, a precise impression of your teeth will be taken and sent to a dental laboratory for the bridge to be fabricated. Meanwhile, you’ll wear a temporary bridge until your next appointment.
On your subsequent visit, the permanent bridge will be meticulously assessed, adjusted, and cemented for a perfect fit. In some cases, the bridge may be temporarily cemented to allow adjustment time before permanent placement.
Comprehensive care instructions will be provided post-procedure. With diligent brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits, the longevity of your new, permanent bridge is assured.
Transform your dental health and smile with confidence again!
