Dental Bridges - Restore Your Smile
We provide high-quality dental bridge services to restore your smile and improve your oral health. Our experienced dental professionals are dedicated to helping you achieve a beautiful, functional smile by bridging the gaps caused by missing teeth. Read on to learn more about dental bridges and how they can benefit you.
What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a dental appliance designed to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth called pontics, which fill the gap left by missing teeth, and abutments that anchor the bridge to the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Dental bridges are custom-made to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth, providing a seamless and natural-looking smile.
About Dental Bridge Services in Detail
At One Dental Stop, we offer various types of dental bridges to suit your specific needs: Traditional Dental Bridge: This type of bridge consists of dental crowns on either side of the gap with artificial teeth in between. It is ideal when you have healthy natural teeth on both sides of the gap to support the bridge. Cantilever Dental Bridge: Similar to a traditional bridge, but it only has a crown on one side. Cantilever bridges are suitable when you have a natural tooth on only one side of the gap. Maryland Dental Bridge: Also known as a resin-bonded bridge, this type uses metal wings bonded to the neighboring teeth to hold the bridge in place. It is commonly used to replace front teeth. Implant-Supported Bridge: This type of bridge is supported by dental implants instead of natural teeth. Dental implants act as sturdy foundations for the bridge and provide long-term stability and durability. During your initial consultation, our skilled dentists will evaluate your oral health and recommend the most suitable type of dental bridge for you, taking into consideration factors such as the number of missing teeth, the condition of your adjacent teeth, and your personal preferences.
Procedure Overview
1. Tooth Preparation
If needed, the adjacent teeth are prepared by removing a small amount of enamel to create space for the dental crowns that will support the bridge.
2. Impressions
Dental impressions are taken to ensure the bridge is custom-made to fit your mouth perfectly. These impressions are sent to a dental laboratory, where skilled technicians will craft your bridge.
3. Temporary Bridge
While your permanent bridge is being fabricated, a temporary bridge will be placed to protect your exposed teeth and gums.
4. Final Bridge Placement
Once your permanent bridge is ready, you will return to our office for its placement. Our dentist will remove the temporary bridge, check the fit and appearance of the final bridge, and bond it securely in place using dental cement.
