Dental Bridges to Replace a Single Tooth
Missing a single tooth can affect your smile, bite, and overall confidence. Dental bridges offer an effective, time-tested solution for replacing missing teeth. They restore function and enhance appearance. At Advanced Periodontics & Implant Dentistry, we specialize in creating custom dental bridges designed for optimal aesthetics, durability, and comfort.
What Are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are fixed prosthetic devices that replace one or more missing teeth by “bridging” the gap between adjacent teeth. For a single tooth replacement, a dental bridge typically consists of:
- Abutment Crowns: These are placed on the teeth adjacent to the gap.
- Pontic: A false tooth filling the missing space, creating a natural-looking smile.
This method not only restores your smile but also helps maintain proper bite alignment and prevents the shifting of surrounding teeth.
Benefits of Dental Bridges for Single Tooth Replacement
- Enhanced Aesthetics: Custom-designed dental bridges blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a uniform and attractive appearance.
- Restored Function: Bridges help you regain the ability to chew and speak properly, contributing to improved oral health and overall well-being.
- Quick Treatment Process: Compared to other tooth replacement options, dental bridges require fewer appointments, resulting in a quicker smile restoration.
- Affordable and Predictable: Dental bridges provide a cost-effective solution for replacing a single tooth, delivering dependable and long-lasting results.
- No Impact on Adjacent Teeth: When designed correctly, dental bridges can replace a missing tooth without significantly altering the surrounding teeth.
The Dental Bridge Procedure
- Initial Consultation & Assessment: During your consultation, our skilled dental team will assess your oral health and create detailed impressions to design your custom dental bridge.
- Preparation of Abutment Teeth: The adjacent teeth are reshaped to fit the crowns that securely anchor the bridge.
- Custom Bridge Fabrication: Your custom bridge is created using advanced dental technology to perfectly match your natural teeth’ shape, size, and color.
- Fitting and Final Adjustments: Once the bridge is prepared, it is carefully fitted onto your abutment teeth. Necessary adjustments are made to ensure a comfortable, secure, and natural fit.
