The Significance of Dental Bridges

Losing one or more teeth can affect not only your appearance but also your oral health. Dental bridges play a crucial role in restorative dentistry by:

Restoring your ability to chew and speak properly.
Distributing the forces in your bite correctly.
Preventing remaining teeth from drifting out of position.
Maintaining the shape of your face.

Types of Dental Bridges

We offer various types of dental bridges to suit different needs, including:

Traditional Bridges: The most common type, involving crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap with a false tooth in between.
Cantilever Bridges: Used when there are adjacent teeth on only one side of the missing tooth.
Maryland Bonded Bridges: Consist of a false tooth supported by a metal or porcelain framework.

The Process of Getting a Dental Bridge

Creating a dental bridge involves several steps:

Preparation of Anchoring Teeth

The teeth adjacent to the missing tooth are prepared for crowns, which will support the bridge.

Temporary Bridge

A temporary bridge is placed while your custom bridge is being fabricated.

Impressions and Custom Design

Impressions of your teeth are taken to create a bridge that fits perfectly in the gap.

Fitting of the Final Bridge

Once ready, the permanent bridge is adjusted and cemented into place, ensuring a comfortable and precise fit.

The Advantages of Choosing Dental Bridges

Opting for a dental bridge offers several benefits:

A non-invasive and less expensive alternative to dental implants.
A quick and effective way to restore your smile and dental functionality.
Custom-made to match the color and appearance of your natural teeth.

Caring for Your Dental Bridge

To ensure the longevity of your bridge:

Practice good oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing around the bridge.
Regular dental check-ups and cleanings at Wolski Dental Group are essential.
Avoid chewing hard foods or ice to prevent damage to the bridge.
