Dr. Dansa and Dr. Valaskes recognize the importance of addressing missing teeth for both functional and aesthetic reasons. Dental bridges are a solution designed to bridge the gap caused by one or more missing teeth, restoring your smile and oral functionality.Â
When Dental Bridges Are Needed
Dental Bridges are recommended in various situations, including:
- Single Tooth Loss: A dental bridge can replace a single missing tooth, preventing adjacent teeth from shifting out of alignment.
- Multiple Tooth Loss: For cases where consecutive teeth are missing, a bridge can span the gap and restore the overall structure of your dental arch.
- Enhancing Aesthetics: Bridges not only improve functionality but also contribute to a more aesthetically pleasing smile.
The Dental Bridge Procedure
The placement of a dental bridge typically involves the following steps:
- Tooth Preparation: The adjacent teeth on either side of the gap are prepared to support the bridge. In some cases, dental implants may be used for support.
- Impression: An impression of the prepared area is taken to ensure a custom-fit bridge that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.
- Temporary Bridge: While the permanent bridge is being crafted, a temporary bridge is placed to maintain functionality and aesthetics.
- Permanent Bridge Placement: Once the custom bridge is ready, it is securely bonded to the prepared teeth, creating a stable and natural-looking restoration.Â
