Dental Bridges
Bridges are a reliable and effective solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. A dental bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth, known as pontics, anchored by crowns on the adjacent natural teeth or implants. This restoration not only fills the gap left by missing teeth but also restores function and aesthetics to your smile. Speak with our dentists in Milford, MI, to learn more.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
The dental bridge procedure offers numerous advantages, making it a popular choice for tooth replacement.
- Improved Appearance: Bridges restore the natural look of your smile, filling gaps left by missing teeth with lifelike replacements.
- Enhanced Functionality: By restoring missing teeth, bridges improve your ability to chew and speak properly.
- Preventing Teeth Shifting: Bridges help maintain the proper alignment of your remaining teeth, preventing them from shifting into the gap left by missing teeth.
- Durable and Long-Lasting: Made from high-quality materials, are durable and designed to last many years with proper care.
The Dental Bridge Procedure
Dental bridge treatment typically involves multiple visits to our practice. During the initial visit, the abutment teeth (the teeth adjacent to the gap) are prepared by removing a small amount of enamel to accommodate the crowns.
Impressions of your teeth are then taken to create a custom-fit bridge. A temporary bridge may be placed to protect the prepared teeth and gums until the permanent bridge is ready.
At the follow-up visit, the temporary bridge is removed, and the custom-made permanent bridge is fitted, adjusted, and cemented into place. The final adjustments ensure a comfortable and secure fit, restoring the function and appearance of your smile.
