A dental bridge is a fixed, non-removable solution for replacing missing teeth. Our dentists may recommend a dental bridge if you are missing one tooth or several consecutive teeth.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
- Closing the gap in your smile
- Preventing neighboring teeth from shifting out of alignment
- Restoring your natural bite and ability to chew and speak effectively
- Alleviating stress on your bite
- Supporting the natural contours of your face
A dental bridge consists of one or more prosthetic teeth held in place by dental crowns on either side of the gap. These crowns are placed over the adjacent teeth to provide stability for the bridge. In some cases, dental implants can also be used to anchor the bridge for added security.
Traditionally, completing a dental bridge requires at least two appointments. However, at Remington Family Dental, we utilize advanced CEREC technology to complete your dental bridge in a single visit. Our dentists will first prepare the adjacent teeth for the crowns. Using CEREC, we will create a detailed 3D model of your teeth and design the bridge and supporting crowns. Once the restorations are fabricated, we will place and bond the bridge in your mouth, effectively restoring your smile in just one appointment.
