Dental bridges are a restorative solution designed to replace one or more missing teeth. A bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth, known as pontics, held in place by crowns on the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap. The bridge not only restores your smile but also helps maintain the natural shape of your face and prevents remaining teeth from shifting out of place. Dogwood Family Dental offers expertly crafted bridges that look and function just like your natural teeth. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Taylor to learn more about how a bridge can benefit you.
Placing a dental bridge involves several steps to ensure a perfect fit and a comfortable, natural look. The entire process typically requires two to three visits over a few weeks. Learn more about each step below:
During your first visit, Dr. Taylor will evaluate your dental health, discuss your options, and determine if a dental bridge is the best solution for your smile.
The supporting teeth are carefully prepared, and a precise impression is taken to ensure the bridge will fit comfortably and look natural in your mouth.
Using the impression, a custom bridge is crafted in a dental lab to match the shape, color, and alignment of your natural teeth.
The bridge is fitted and secured in place, with adjustments made as needed to ensure it feels comfortable and functions seamlessly with your bite.
