Missing teeth can affect your ability to chew, speak and smile with confidence. Dental bridges offer a lasting solution by filling gaps and restoring the natural function of your teeth. At East Coast Family Dentistry, Dr. Maria Sese and Dr. Nhat Nguyen provide custom dental bridges designed to blend seamlessly with your smile.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth (pontics) held in place by crowns on adjacent teeth or dental implants. This helps restore both function and aesthetics while preventing surrounding teeth from shifting.
Advantages of Dental Bridges
A dental bridge offers more than just a cosmetic improvement. It also:
- Restores proper chewing and speech function
- Prevents misalignment by keeping surrounding teeth in place
- Maintains the natural structure of your face
- Provides a durable and long-lasting tooth replacement option
Our dentists will carefully design your bridge to ensure a comfortable and natural fit.
ÂWhat to Expect During the Procedure
Getting a dental bridge typically involves multiple steps over two visits:
- Preparation – The supporting teeth are reshaped, and impressions are taken.
- Temporary Bridge – A temporary restoration is placed while the final bridge is being crafted.
- Custom Bridge Placement – The final bridge is adjusted and permanently secured.
With good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, your bridge can last for many years.
