If you are missing one or more teeth in a row, our dental professionals may recommend a dental bridge as an effective tooth replacement option. A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration, meaning it is non-removable and offers a stable and secure solution. This custom-made appliance consists of an artificial tooth (pontic) that fills the gap left by the missing tooth and is anchored in place by dental crowns.

The process of getting a dental bridge typically involves two visits to our practice. During the first visit, our skilled dentists will prepare the teeth adjacent to the gap by reshaping them to ensure a proper fit for the dental crowns. We will then take detailed impressions of your teeth, which will be used to create a customized bridge that matches your unique smile.

While your permanent bridge is being fabricated in a dental lab, a temporary bridge will be placed to protect your teeth and gums. Once your custom bridge is ready, you will return to our office for the second visit. Our dentists will carefully check the fit and appearance of the bridge before permanently bonding it in place. With the dental crowns securely holding the bridge, you can enjoy a restored smile that looks and functions naturally.

Dental bridges offer several advantages that go beyond restoring your smile. Our skilled dentists may recommend a dental bridge to improve your oral health and enhance your overall well-being. Here are some key benefits of dental bridges:

1. Restored Functionality: Dental bridges allow you to speak, eat, and chew normally, enabling you to enjoy your favorite foods and maintain a balanced diet.

2. Bite Stability: By filling the gap left by missing teeth, bridges alleviate excess stress on your bite and help distribute the forces evenly, ensuring a more harmonious bite.

3. Facial Harmony: Missing teeth can lead to a sunken or aged appearance. Dental bridges can help improve the shape and volume of your face, giving you a more youthful and vibrant look.

4. Removable Partial Denture Alternative: Dental bridges provide a permanent and more comfortable solution compared to removable partial dentures, enhancing your oral hygiene routine and overall comfort.

5. Preventing Teeth Shifting: When a tooth is lost, the neighboring teeth may shift and move out of position, causing misalignment. Dental bridges help prevent this unwanted tooth movement and maintain proper dental alignment.

6. Aesthetics: Dental bridges are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, enhancing the appearance of your smile. With a restored smile, you can regain your confidence and enjoy social interactions without hesitation.

At iSmile Dentistry, we prioritize your dental health and satisfaction. Our dedicated team of dental professionals will help you determine whether a custom dental bridge is the right choice for restoring your smile after tooth loss.
