Seamless Solutions for Missing Teeth
How Dental Bridges Work
A dental bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth, known as pontics, that are supported by dental crowns or implants on either side of the missing tooth. These supporting crowns, placed over natural teeth or implants, anchor the bridge securely in place. This structure allows for a strong, stable restoration that blends naturally with the surrounding teeth.
The process of receiving a dental bridge typically requires two visits. During the first visit, the supporting teeth are prepared and impressions are taken to ensure a precise fit. A temporary bridge may be placed to protect the area while the permanent restoration is being custom-made. At the second appointment, the final bridge is carefully fitted and bonded in place, restoring function and aesthetics to your smile.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
Dental bridges offer several advantages, including:
- Restored Functionality – Enables you to chew and speak properly.
- Improved Aesthetics – Enhances the appearance of your smile with a natural-looking replacement.
- Prevention of Shifting Teeth – Keeps surrounding teeth from moving out of alignment.
- Balanced Bite – Reduces stress on remaining teeth by distributing bite forces evenly.
- Long-Lasting Solution – With proper care, bridges can last for many years.
