Bridges

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are used to bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. They are composed of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap — the anchoring teeth are known as abutment teeth — and a false tooth/teeth in between.

  • What Are They?: Dental bridges literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. Think of them as false teeth held in place by the teeth around your gap.

  • Why You Might Need One:

    • To fill in spaces where teeth are missing.
    • To help you chew and speak better.
    • To keep your other teeth from moving out of place.
    • To improve the look of your smile and the shape of your face.
  • Types of Bridges:

    • Traditional Bridges: Made when there are natural teeth on both sides of the gap.
    • Cantilever Bridges: Used when there are teeth on only one side of the gap.
    • Maryland Bridges: Have wings on the side that are bonded to your existing teeth.
  • How It Works:

    1. Visit 1: The dentist prepares the teeth next to the gap and takes a mold of your teeth to create the bridge.
    2. Temporary Bridge: You’ll get a temporary bridge to protect your teeth while your permanent bridge is made.
    3. Visit 2: Your new bridge is fitted, adjusted, and cemented to the prepared teeth.
  • Benefits:

    • Fills the space where teeth are missing.
    • Helps with chewing and speaking.
    • Keeps your other teeth from shifting.
    • Boosts your smile and confidence.
  • Taking Care of Your Bridge:

    • Brush and floss daily to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
    • Visit your dentist regularly for cleanings and check-ups.
    • Avoid chewing hard foods and ice to prevent damage to your bridge.
  • How Long They Last: With good care, dental bridges can last 5 to 15 years or even longer.

  • Remember: Keeping the rest of your teeth healthy is key to the success of your dental bridge!

Say hello. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Regular dental checks-ups are vital for optimal oral health. These visits allow dentists to catch and address dental issues early, provide professional cleanings, and offer valuable preventive care and education. By prioritizing biannual dental visits, you can maintain a healthy smile, prevent dental problems, and enhance your overall well-being.

This varies based on the procedure and individual circumstances. While some treatments can be completed in a single visit, others may require multiple appointments spread over weeks or months. Your dentists will assess your case and provide a personalized treatment plan with an estimate timeframe.

It’s challenging to provide an exact cost without assessing your unique dental needs. However, we will provide a detailed treatment plan and discuss associated costs before proceeding. We offer flexible payment options, insurance coverage, and financing plans to make treatment more affordable.
