Dental Bridges
Restore Your Smile with a Strong, Natural-Looking Solution
Missing teeth can affect more than just your appearance; they can impact how you eat, speak, and feel about your smile. At Aesthetic Family Dentistry, we offer custom dental bridges designed to replace missing teeth and restore both function and confidence. Each bridge is carefully crafted to blend with your natural teeth, creating a seamless look while helping you regain a strong, comfortable bite. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, dental bridges provide a reliable, long-term solution for improving your oral health and overall quality of life.
Types of Dental Bridges We Offer
We provide two primary types of dental bridges, depending on your needs and oral health:
- Traditional Dental Bridges: This option is ideal when healthy teeth are present on both sides of the gap. The bridge is supported by these teeth, with a custom replacement tooth filling the space in between.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: For added stability, especially when multiple teeth are missing, implant-supported bridges are anchored to dental implants placed in the jawbone. This option offers enhanced durability and long-term support.
Both types are designed to restore function, improve appearance, and help you feel more confident in your smile.
What to Expect During the Dental Bridge Process?
We take a step-by-step approach to ensure your treatment is comfortable and effective:
- Consultation and Evaluation: Your visit begins with a comprehensive exam to assess your oral health and determine if a dental bridge is the right solution.
- Digital Planning and Impressions: We use advanced imaging and precise impressions to design a bridge that fits comfortably and looks natural.
- Tooth Preparation: If you’re receiving a traditional bridge, the teeth supporting the bridge are gently reshaped to allow for a secure fit.
- Temporary Restoration: A temporary bridge may be placed to protect your teeth while your custom restoration is being created.
- Custom Bridge Placement: Once your permanent bridge is ready, we carefully place it, make any necessary adjustments, and secure it in place.
- Aftercare Guidance: We’ll provide instructions to help you care for your bridge and maintain your oral health long-term.
