What is a Dental Bridge?

Dental bridges are oral appliances made from a tooth-colored material like ceramic or resin that can replace one or several missing teeth. They include the correct number of pontics (artificial teeth) with a dental crown on each side. They’re customized to match the shape, size, and tone of your natural teeth for seamless results, then are cemented over healthy teeth (abutments) or implants placed on either end of the gap in your grin.

Types of Dental Bridges

Before you can be fitted with these prosthetics, you must consult with one of our providers to ensure you’re a good candidate. Our team will update your medical history and examine your mouth to ensure that no pre-existing issues, like cavities or gum disease, interfere with the results.

Then, based on our findings, we might recommend one of the following options:

Traditional Dental Bridge

These are the standard method of replacing one to four lost teeth in a row. They include a crown that anchors to abutment teeth on both sides of the space to restore your smile’s appearance and functionality. If you have severely damaged or decayed teeth, you may need to consider an implant bridge instead.

Implant Bridge

This combines the benefits of a traditional dental bridge with implants for a more permanent solution. First, we’ll surgically place two titanium rods into your jawbone on each end of the open space in your gums. It can take three to six months to recover because your jawbone must fuse with the metal pole. Then, we will fit you with a specially designed bridge that anchors to the implants.

The Benefits of Getting a Dental Bridge

Your remaining teeth are prone to shifting out of alignment to fill in the empty places, which can wear down your enamel unevenly and prematurely. Unfortunately, that leaves you more vulnerable to cavities, gum disease, and injuries, so it’s essential to restore your grin sooner rather than later.

There are many benefits to getting dental bridges in Concord, including:

  • Preserves dental health. Your prosthetic keeps everything in its proper place to prevent potential problems.
  • Natural appearance. They’re made from resilient, tooth-colored materials that reflect light like enamel and can be customized to look like the real deal.
  • Improved chewing. You’ll be able to bite and chew more easily to enjoy a wider variety of wholesome foods to support your oral and overall health.
  • Enhanced enunciation. You can overcome the lisp or other changes to your speech patterns that developed with tooth loss.
  • Long-lasting. These durable teeth can last 15+ years if cared for correctly.
