Dental Bridges

Understanding Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are an effective solution for replacing missing teeth, restoring both the appearance and function of your smile. A bridge spans the gap left by a missing tooth, using neighboring teeth or implants for support. Without proper support from all teeth, bite alignment, chewing ability, and even speech can be affected, making dental bridges essential for preserving oral health and overall confidence.

Why You Might Need a Dental Bridge

When a tooth is missing, it impacts more than just your appearance. Over time, gaps from missing teeth can lead to:

• Shifting of Surrounding Teeth: Teeth may shift into the empty space, leading to misalignment and bite issues.

• Jaw Problems: Gaps can place stress on the jaw, potentially leading to pain and dysfunction.

• Chewing and Speech Difficulties: Missing teeth can affect your ability to enjoy certain foods and may alter your speech.

A dental bridge addresses these issues, restoring function and preventing further complications that can arise from missing teeth.

What to Expect During the Procedure

The process of receiving a dental bridge generally involves two appointments:

1. Preparation: The neighboring teeth are carefully shaped to anchor the bridge securely. Impressions are taken to create a custom bridge that will fit comfortably and match the natural look of your teeth. A temporary bridge is often provided while the final bridge is crafted.

2. Placement: At the second appointment, the custom bridge is adjusted for comfort and cemented in place, completing your smile restoration.

With proper care, dental bridges can last for many years, allowing you to enjoy a fully functional and aesthetically pleasing smile.
