If you have lost teeth, our dentist may recommend replacing them with a dental bridge. This restorative treatment “bridges” the gap caused by your missing teeth to give you back a healthy, attractive and fully functional smile.
What Are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are a type of prosthetic tooth replacement. They are typically recommended to replace a single tooth or several teeth in a row. Bridges are fixed, or nonremovable, and are anchored in place through the use of dental crowns on the teeth to either side of the gap or with dental implants.
How Bridges Improve Your Smile
Dental bridges are designed to:
- Restore your ability to speak, eat and chew normally
- Alleviate excess stress on your bite
- Support the shape and volume of your face
- Prevent your remaining natural teeth from shifting out of place
- Enhance the appearance of your smile
- Replace unwanted removable partial dentures
Dental Bridge Process
Dental bridges typically require two visits to complete. At the first appointment, our dentist will make digital impressions and prepare the adjacent teeth to receive crowns, if your bridge is being anchored by your natural teeth. At your second appointment, the dentist will place the bridge in your mouth and ensure that it fits properly before permanently anchoring it into place. Dental bridges are designed to be highly durable, so you can count on enjoying a confident smile for many years to come.
