Restore your smile’s functionality and aesthetics with our expert dental bridge services at Old Greenwich Dental Center. We understand the impact of missing teeth on your confidence and oral health. Our dedicated team is committed to providing personalized and effective dental bridge solutions, ensuring you can smile, speak, and eat with ease once again.
A dental bridge is a prosthetic appliance designed to bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth, known as pontics, which are anchored to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants using dental crowns. These crowns hold the artificial tooth in place to effectively “bridge” gaps and create a seamless smile. As a relatively quick and affordable replacement option, tooth bridges are an excellent solution for restoring your smile’s appearance, improving oral function, and preventing adjacent teeth from shifting.
Our experienced dental team takes a meticulous approach to craft dental bridges that seamlessly blend with your natural teeth. The bridge creation begins with a comprehensive assessment. We’ll conduct a thorough examination of your oral health, including digital X-rays, to determine the most suitable bridge option for you. If the adjacent teeth will support the bridge, they are carefully prepared by removing a small amount of enamel to accommodate the dental crowns that anchor the pontic. Precise impressions of your teeth are taken to ensure a custom fit for your dental bridge While your permanent bridge is being crafted, a temporary bridge may be placed to protect your exposed teeth and maintain your oral function.
Once your permanent bridge is ready, typically in two to three weeks, we’ll ask you to return for a quick final fitting. We’ll set the bridge in place and make any adjustments needed for a perfect fit and shade match to your natural teeth. The bridge is then cemented into place for a lasting restoration and you can enjoy your new smile right away.
