What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a type of restoration used when you have one or more teeth missing in a row. Bridges, as the word would indicate, “bridge” the gap caused by tooth loss. A bridge can be constructed for one tooth or for several teeth. The bridge is secured by dental crowns on either side of the gap. A dental bridge will seamlessly mirror the size and shape of your original tooth or teeth and restore your smile to its natural state.
What are the Benefits of Dental Bridges?
From reducing tooth decay to protecting your remaining teeth, the benefits of dental bridges include:
- A bridge will assist the patient’s ability to properly chew their food.
- Bridges will protect the remaining teeth from moving or shifting, helping to prevent further damage and additional cost to the patient to return their smile to its natural state.
- Reduces the chance of tooth decay to the remaining natural teeth.
- Your new bridge will transform your smile, appear natural and function as if they are your real teeth.
- Installing a bridge is a less invasive procedure than installing implants. It takes less time to complete the entire procedure to restore your mouth to its natural appearance.
- A bridge is more stable than a traditional denture as it is securely fixed to the surrounding teeth.
Smile with Confidence in Lakewood Ranch with Dental Bridges
Treatment Stages of Installation of Dental Bridges
1st Stage – The patient’s natural teeth on either side of the gap will be prepared for the procedure. After cleaning the surrounding teeth, we will remove part of the existing tooth structure to allow the dental crowns to be set in place which will act as support for the new bridge. After taking an impression, which will be used by our laboratory to construct the permanent restoration, a temporary crown and bridge will be installed to protect your teeth and gums from damage while the laboratory creates your new bridge.
.
2nd Stage – In a short time your new bridge will be completed by the laboratory. Upon your return to our practice, your new bridge will replace the temporary one with permanent crowns that will be attached to the bridge with cement or a bonding solution. The new bridge will fit seamlessly with your remaining teeth and blend with your natural smile.
