Revitalize Your Smile With a Dental Bridge
If you are hiding your smile because of missing teeth, our team at Avalon Dental Care is here to help. We are pleased to offer a range of tooth replacement options, including dental bridges, meticulously crafted to match your natural teeth. Our restorations are made from the highest quality, durable materials, enhancing your smile and quality of life.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that “bridges” the gap left by one or several adjacent teeth, restoring your complete smile. It consists of dental crowns placed on teeth on either side of the gap, known as abutment teeth, with one or more replacement teeth in between. Your new restoration will leave you with a beautiful, functional smile.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges offer many advantages, including the following:
- They Are Natural-Looking: Dental bridges are made from an aesthetic material that mimics the color, texture, and translucency of your natural teeth, delivering seamless smiles.
- They Preserve the Shape of Your Face: Dental bridges support your facial structure, preventing the sunken appearance that can result from tooth loss.
- They Are Secure: Dental bridges are attached to crowns placed on natural teeth so they will not accidentally shift or slip when you eat, speak, or smile.
- They Improve Your Smile’s Function: Restoring your complete smile will help you enjoy more of your favorite foods and speak more clearly and confidently.
- They Stop Your Teeth from Shifting: Filling gaps in your smile will prevent the remaining teeth from migrating to the available space, maintaining the alignment of your teeth and bite.
- They Are Durable: Dental bridges are durable and resistant to wear, providing a long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth.
What Is the Dental Bridge Placement Process?
The dental bridge placement process typically requires two office visits to complete. We will start by preparing your teeth on either side of the gap by removing an ultra-fine layer of tooth enamel. These abutment teeth will be covered by dental crowns that will hold your bridge in place. We will take impressions of the area that skilled lab technicians will use to create your new aesthetic restoration. Meanwhile, we will place a temporary bridge to protect your prepared teeth as you wait.
During an upcoming visit, we will remove your temporary bridge and bond your new permanent restoration in place. Next, we will make any needed adjustments to ensure you have a comfortable bite. Your new bridge will look just like your natural teeth, and with proper care and maintenance, it can enhance your smile for up to 15 years—or even longer!
