Are you missing one or multiple teeth? If so, dental bridges here at King’s Dental just might be what you are looking for. Dental bridges are a popular and effective solution for replacing one or more missing teeth, restoring both the aesthetics and functionality of your smile. These custom-made prosthetic devices literally bridge the gap created by the missing teeth, utilizing the support of the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants.
The Dental Bridge Process
During your consultation, our dentist will evaluate your dental condition and determine if a dental bridge is the right solution for you. The process involves the following steps:
- Assessment: Our skilled team will thoroughly examine your teeth and surrounding structures to assess the extent of tooth loss and identify the areas that require a dental bridge.
- Preparation: If necessary, we will prepare the adjacent teeth by removing a small amount of enamel to create room for the dental bridge.
- Impressions: We will take precise impressions of your teeth to ensure a custom-fit dental bridge that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.
- Temporary Bridge: While your permanent dental bridge is being fabricated in a dental laboratory, we will provide you with a temporary bridge to maintain your smile’s aesthetics and functionality.
- Placement: Once your permanent dental bridge is ready, we will carefully place it, ensuring proper fit, alignment, and bite. We will make any necessary adjustments to guarantee your comfort and optimal function.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
Dental bridges offer several benefits, including:
- Restored Function: Dental bridges fill the gaps left by missing teeth, allowing you to chew and speak properly, improving your overall oral function.
- Enhanced Aesthetics: Dental bridges are designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, restoring your smile’s beauty and boosting your confidence.
- Preventing Shifting of Teeth: By filling the gaps, dental bridges prevent the surrounding teeth from shifting out of position, maintaining proper alignment.
- Improved Speech: Missing teeth can affect your speech. Dental bridges restore your ability to pronounce words clearly, improving your speech patterns.
- Long-term Oral Health: Dental bridges help distribute the forces of your bite evenly, reducing the stress on surrounding teeth and preventing further dental problems.
