Complete Your Smile with Dental Bridges
A healthy, complete smile isn’t just about looks—it plays a vital role in your ability to speak clearly, chew properly, and maintain oral health. If you’ve lost one or more teeth, dental bridges can help restore the full function and appearance of your smile. At Aurora Borealis Dentistry, we offer expertly designed dental bridges that seamlessly replace missing teeth and give you back your confidence.
What Are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are custom-made dental restorations used to fill the gap left by a missing tooth. The bridge is anchored by adjacent teeth or implants, with a prosthetic tooth (or teeth) sitting in the space where the natural tooth once was.
Key Components of Dental Bridges
- Abutment Teeth: These are the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap that support the bridge.
- Pontic: This is the false tooth that fills the gap, designed to look and function like a real tooth.
Why Choose Dental Bridges?
Replacing missing teeth with dental bridges offers numerous benefits beyond aesthetics.
Restore Natural Function
Dental bridges help you regain the ability to chew, bite, and speak without difficulty. They are durable and designed to handle daily use, making them a long-term solution.
Maintain Facial Structure
Tooth loss can lead to bone loss and facial sagging. Dental bridges help preserve the natural shape of your face by maintaining the alignment of surrounding teeth.
Boost Confidence
Nothing restores confidence quite like a full smile. With natural-looking dental bridges, you’ll be able to smile, laugh, and speak freely again.
Types of Dental Bridges Available
At Aurora Borealis Dentistry, we provide several types of dental bridges, each tailored to your specific dental condition and goals.
- Traditional Dental Bridges: Supported by crowns on both sides of the missing tooth.
- Cantilever Bridges: Used when only one tooth is available for support.
- Maryland Bridges: A conservative option that uses a bonded framework.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: Ideal for replacing multiple missing teeth with superior stability.
Our team will help you choose the best type of dental bridges for your unique needs.
What to Expect During the Dental Bridge Procedure
Getting dental bridges usually involves two or more appointments.
- Initial Consultation and Planning
We evaluate your oral health, take digital scans, and design a treatment plan for your dental bridges. - Tooth Preparation and Impressions
The abutment teeth are reshaped if necessary, and impressions are taken to fabricate your bridge. - Placement of Temporary Bridge
A temporary bridge protects your teeth while the permanent one is crafted. - Final Placement
Once ready, your custom dental bridges are carefully placed, adjusted, and bonded securely.
Caring for Your Dental Bridges
Maintaining your dental bridges is easy with good oral hygiene. Brush and floss daily, and don’t skip your regular dental checkups. Special floss threaders can help you clean underneath the bridge to prevent gum issues or decay around the supporting teeth.
We’ll show you how to care for your dental bridges properly to ensure they last for many years.
