What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge, as the name suggests, bridges the gap where teeth are missing. It’s comprised of two or more crowns and one or more false teeth in between. These anchoring teeth are called abutments, while the replacement ones are known as pontics. Generally made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials, dental bridges can restore your smile and maintain your face shape.
The Dental Bridge Procedure
During the dental bridge procedure, our experienced team at Salmon Creek Complete Dentistry will guide you through every step to ensure a successful outcome. From the initial consultation and evaluation to the preparation of abutment teeth and the fabrication and placement of your permanent bridge, we are committed to providing you with exceptional care throughout the entire process.
Consultation and Evaluation
Dr. Kelly will begin by conducting an assessment of your oral health, specifically focusing on areas affected by tooth loss. He will carefully examine any teeth that might serve as potential support for a dental bridge, ensuring they are robust enough.
Subsequently, the discussion will then include which dental bridge options are available, such as traditional bridges, cantilever bridges, or resin-bonded bridges. Throughout these discussions, we will consider factors like overall dental health and personal preference to formulate a treatment plan.
Preparation of Abutment Teeth
Reshaping the adjacent teeth is an important step in a dental bridge procedure. Initially, they are modified to accommodate the upcoming dental bridge. The objective is to guarantee their ability to support the replacement tooth or teeth effectively.
Fabrication and Placement of the Permanent Bridge
Our skilled dentist then uses high-quality materials to create a permanent bridge that looks and functions like natural teeth. If you prefer, Dr. Kelly can deliver a same-day bridge so that you spend less time traveling back and forth for multiple appointments. After it is ready, we will carefully place the bridge onto your prepared abutment teeth, creating a strong and durable restoration.
