Visit us today to experience how our dental bridges can enhance your smile and oral health.
How does a dental bridge replace missing teeth?
A dental bridge is a secure and fixed solution for one or more teeth lost in a row. Unlike removable dentures, bridges are secured permanently to the nearby teeth or implants. A bridge consists of prosthetic teeth (pontic) that span a gap left by missing teeth. The surrounding teeth secure the pontic called abutments. To ensure your bridge doesn’t move or slip out when using your teeth, the abutment teeth are crowned before attaching the bridge. The result is a stable restoration that feels and functions like natural teeth.
What is the process of placing dental bridges?
The process requires 2-3 dental appointments. The initial consultation involves a dental exam to examine your mouth gaps and determine whether a dental bridge is viable. Potential beneficiaries for bridges must be in good oral health and committed to good oral hygiene. We’ll also examine the abutment teeth to ensure they are healthy.
Next, the dentist will reshape the abutment teeth to ensure they accommodate your crown’s thickness. We often prepare teeth after numbing your gums with local anesthetics to provide maximum comfort. Once we prepare the abutment teeth, we digitally scan your teeth, taking exact measurements of the gap, color, and shape of surrounding teeth, etc., to create a bespoke bridge. Next, we’ll send your digital scans to our dental lab to custom-make your restoration. Until your restoration is ready, we’ll protect your prepped teeth with temporary restorations.
Once we receive your bridge, we’ll schedule an appointment for placement at our office. We’ll first check your bridge to ensure it looks natural and fits comfortably. When everything looks and feels perfect, we’ll use dental cement to bond your restoration to your teeth, restoring your oral function and beauty.
Are you considering dental bridges as a solution?

Some include:
