Bridges

Introduction: Missing teeth can affect your confidence and oral health. Dental bridgesoffer a reliable solution to fill the gaps, restore function, and enhance yoursmile.

What is a Dental Bridge? A dental bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) anchoredby crowns on the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Bridges effectivelyreplace missing teeth, maintaining the alignment and integrity of your bite.

Why Get a Bridge? Bridges not only restore the appearance of your smile but also improveyour ability to chew and speak properly. They help distribute the forces inyour bite evenly and prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position,which can lead to bite problems and further dental issues.

The Procedure: The process of getting a dental bridge typically involves two visits.During the first visit, the abutment teeth (the teeth adjacent to the gap) areprepared by removing a small amount of enamel to make space for the crowns.Impressions of your teeth are taken to create a custom-fit bridge. A temporarybridge may be placed to protect your gums and teeth while the final bridge isbeing made.

On the second visit, the temporary bridge is removed, and the newpermanent bridge is checked and adjusted for proper fit. Once confirmed, it iscemented into place, restoring your smile and functionality.

Aftercare: Maintaining a dental bridge requires good oral hygiene. Brush and flossregularly, paying special attention to cleaning under the bridge. Regulardental visits are essential to check the integrity of the bridge and the healthof the surrounding teeth and gums.
