At Dental Elements, we understand the impact that missing teeth can have on your smile, confidence, and overall well-being. Dental bridges offer a permanent and effective solution to replace one or more missing teeth while restoring your smile’s function and aesthetics. Our experienced dentists are dedicated to providing personalized care and crafting custom-fit dental bridges that seamlessly integrate with your natural teeth.
Dental bridges are fixed appliances that replace missing teeth by anchoring to your natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap. The bridge consists of an artificial tooth, called a pontic, supported by crowns placed on the adjacent teeth or dental implants. Dental bridges are designed to restore chewing ability, enhance speech, and improve the appearance of your smile.
Dental bridges offer several advantages for individuals with missing teeth:
Permanent solution: Dental bridges are fixed appliances that provide a stable and durable solution for missing teeth.
Natural-looking appearance: Dental bridges are crafted to closely resemble your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and aesthetically pleasing smile.
Improved chewing ability: Dental bridges effectively restore chewing function, allowing you to enjoy a variety of foods.
Enhanced speech: Proper bridge placement and alignment can significantly improve speech and pronunciation.
Preserves facial structure: Dental bridges help maintain facial contours, preventing sagging and enhancing facial appearance.
Boosted confidence: A restored smile can boost self-confidence and improve social interactions.
There are three main types of dental bridges:
Traditional dental bridge: This bridge utilizes crowns placed on the adjacent natural teeth to anchor the pontic.
Cantilever bridge: This bridge is used when there is only one natural tooth adjacent to the missing tooth.
Maryland bridge: This bridge uses a metal framework bonded to the back of the adjacent teeth for support.
Our experienced dentists will guide you through the dental bridge process, ensuring a personalized and comfortable experience:
Initial consultation: We will assess your oral health, discuss your needs, and determine the most suitable type of dental bridge for you.
X-rays and impressions: We will take X-rays to evaluate your jawbone and create precise impressions of your teeth to ensure a perfect fit for your bridge.
Preparation of adjoining teeth: If using natural teeth for support, we will prepare them to receive crowns.
Bridge fabrication: Our skilled dental technicians will meticulously craft your bridge using high-quality materials and advanced techniques.
Bridge placement and adjustments: We will carefully place your bridge and make necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.
Post-placement care and follow-ups: We will provide ongoing care and guidance to ensure your bridge remains functional and aesthetically pleasing.
