What Is a Dental Bridge?

A bridge is a fixed porcelain prosthetic that offers an effective solution for patients with multiple missing teeth in a row. As the name suggests, a bridge will fill the gaps left by missing teeth by anchoring them onto healthier remaining teeth and suspending the prosthetic teeth (pontics) between them. The teeth serve as anchors to secure the bridge and ensure the new teeth stay in position. Our dentists use dental bridges to replace one or two missing teeth simultaneously. Dental implants may also support bridges to replace up to four teeth at once.

Why Should I Get a Dental Bridge?

There are many benefits of getting a dental bridge, including restoring the appearance and functionality of your smile. You will be able to speak normally and eat while enjoying your favorite foods without having to eat around the missing teeth. Dental bridges can also help preserve your bite structure by preventing teeth from shifting, and will also reduce uneven wear on your remaining teeth.

How Do Dental Bridges Compare To Partial Dentures?

When you visit our dental practice, our team will discuss all your prospective treatment options. Both bridges and partial dentures have their pros and cons, so we'll help you select the one that works best for you. Bridges are fixed in place, which makes them more secure than dentures. They're also easier to clean since they won't need to be removed and soaked. On the other hand, partial dentures can replace missing teeth in any configuration rather than in a single row. They also don't require neighboring healthy teeth to be reshaped for crowns. Our dentist will consider your oral health, smile goals, lifestyle, and budget before recommending a particular option.

Who Should Get a Dental Bridge?

Most people who are missing multiple teeth in a single area would be good candidates for a fixed bridge. Bridges help you avoid several dental problems caused by missing teeth. If a space is left empty, chewing force will cause neighboring teeth to move into the space over time. As a result, you may end up experiencing the following:

• Chewing difficulties
• Pain from the additional stress on your jaw and teeth
• Bite problems
• Self-consciousness regarding your smile or your appearance

If you experience any of these symptoms, you should contact our dentist to schedule a consultation. With a complete and new set of teeth, you will enjoy enhanced confidence and regain your teeth's functionality.

Our Dental Bridge Process

The dental bridge treatment takes multiple visits to complete. The initial visit involves a full examination and designing your treatment. Our dentist will prepare your abutment teeth for the bridge by reshaping the enamel and taking a mold of the teeth near and above the gap. Using this mold, the dentist will design your new bridge and send the impressions to a trusted lab.

Our dentist will install a temporary bridge you can use as you wait for the permanent bridge to be fabricated. The temporary bridge helps to protect the area against infection and bacteria as you wait for your permanent bridge. We use quality porcelain, which creates a bridge that is both sturdy and looks natural within your smile. It typically takes 2-3 weeks for your new bridge to arrive.

During the second visit, our dentist will remove the temporary bridge and confirm that the new bridge fits comfortably. The dentist will make any necessary modifications to ensure an optimal fit. The permanent bridge will then be cemented into place. Once complete, you will have a renewed and beautiful smile.

Implant-Supported Bridges

At Legacy Dental Care, we provide implant-supported bridges to help patients rejuvenate their oral health. The bridges will be held in position by the implant posts rather than the neighboring teeth, giving you a permanent solution for multiple teeth loss. Regardless of the type of bridge you choose, our experience and quality materials ensure you will enjoy beautiful and functional teeth for years.
