Restore Your Smile with Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are a practical and effective solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. By using the adjacent teeth as support, bridges help restore function and aesthetics, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) anchored in place by crowns that are fitted over the neighboring natural teeth. This creates a stable structure that fills the gap left by missing teeth and ensures that your bite remains balanced.
Types of Dental Bridges:
- Traditional Bridges: The most common type, these involve placing crowns on the teeth adjacent to the gap and securing the artificial tooth in between.
- Cantilever Bridges: Used when there are adjacent teeth on only one side of the gap. This type is supported by a single adjacent tooth.
- Maryland Bridges: Also known as resin-bonded bridges, these use a metal or porcelain framework that is bonded to the back of the supporting teeth, making them less invasive.
The Bridge Placement Process:
- Initial Consultation: We will assess your dental health and determine if a bridge is the right option for you, taking X-rays and discussing your treatment goals.
- Preparation: The adjacent teeth will be prepared by removing a portion of enamel to allow for the placement of crowns.
- Impression: An impression of your mouth will be taken to create a custom bridge that fits perfectly with your bite.
- Temporary Bridge: While your permanent bridge is being made, we will provide a temporary bridge to protect your prepared teeth and maintain your smile.
- Final Placement: Once your custom bridge is ready, you will return for a follow-up appointment. We will place the bridge, ensuring a comfortable fit and making any necessary adjustments.
Benefits of Dental Bridges:
- Restoration of Function: Bridges allow you to eat and speak normally, restoring your ability to enjoy a varied diet and communicate effectively.
- Natural Appearance: Custom bridges are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, enhancing your smile’s aesthetics.
- Preventing Shifting: By filling the gap left by missing teeth, bridges help prevent neighboring teeth from shifting out of alignment, which can lead to further dental issues.
- Durability: With proper care, bridges can last many years, providing a long-term solution for missing teeth.
Caring for Your Bridge:
Maintaining a dental bridge involves regular oral hygiene practices. Brush and floss around the bridge and supporting teeth daily, and schedule regular dental check-ups to ensure everything remains in good condition.
