bridges
What are dental bridges?
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that “bridges” the gap between missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) anchored to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants.
Restored chewing function: Enjoy all your favorite foods again with improved bite force.
Clearer speech: Eliminate lisps and improve pronunciation for confident communication.
Enhanced aesthetics: Fill gaps, improve your smile, and boost self-confidence.
Prevents teeth shifting: Maintain proper teeth alignment and prevent additional tooth loss.
Improved oral health: Easier food cleaning reduces the risk of decay and gum disease.
- Consultation: Discuss your concerns and receive a personalized treatment plan.
- Tooth preparation: Minor shaping of neighboring teeth to support the bridge.
- Impression taking: Creates a precise mold for your custom bridge.
- Temporary bridge: Worn while your permanent bridge is crafted.
- Bridge cementation: Final bonding of the bridge for a natural look and feel.
