Dental bridges are a trusted and effective solution for replacing one or more missing teeth, seamlessly bridging the gap and restoring the functionality and aesthetics of your smile. At Vision Dental, Dr. Kiren George is dedicated to providing personalized dental bridge solutions and ensuring you receive the highest quality care tailored to your specific needs.
What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge consists of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap — these are called abutment teeth — and a false tooth or teeth in between. These false teeth can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain or a combination of these materials, and are supported by natural teeth or implants.
The Dental Bridge Process
The process of getting a dental bridge at our office involves a detailed consultation with our dentist, during which we will discuss your goals and the best type of bridge for your situation. The procedure typically requires two visits: the first to prepare the abutment teeth and take impressions, and the second to fit and adjust the bridge.
Advantages of Dental Bridges
Dental bridges not only restore the appearance of your smile but also have the important function of distributing the forces in your bite properly by replacing missing teeth. They also prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position, which can lead to other dental problems.
If you are missing one or more teeth and believe a dental bridge in Wellington, Florida, might be the right solution for you, we invite you to contact us at 561-790-5414. Let Dr. George and our team help you achieve a smile that is both functional and beautiful.
Patient Questions
Dental Bridge FAQs
What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth with a false tooth that is anchored to crowns on the neighboring teeth or to dental implants.
How long does a dental bridge last?
With proper care, a dental bridge can last many years. Good brushing, flossing under the bridge, and regular checkups help it last longer.
Is a bridge or an implant better?
Both are good options. Implants do not rely on neighboring teeth and help preserve bone, while bridges are often faster and less involved. Dr. George will help you compare them.
How many visits does a bridge take?
A traditional bridge usually takes two visits: one to prepare the teeth and take digital impressions, and one to place the finished bridge.
How do I clean under a dental bridge?
Use a floss threader, water flosser, or small interdental brush to clean under the false tooth every day, along with regular brushing.
