Dental Bridge: Solution For A Missing Tooth

After losing a permanent tooth, many patients put off seeking a tooth replacement because they are unaware of replacement options. The truth is, there is no reason to wait or hold off; in fact, the more time you spend with a missing tooth, the more substantial health problems may arise, including possible bone loss. Today’s permanent dental bridges offer the look and function of natural teeth. Removable/temporary restorations are a thing of the past and Metro Smiles offers permanent, or “fixed” Dental Bridge treatment. Filling that missing tooth or gap not only enhances your smile aesthetically, but will also prevent tooth decay, gum disease, shifting bite, and bone loss. A dental bridge may be the solution for you.

The Modern Day Dental Bridge: Permanent & Fixed

Replacing missing teeth doesn’t have to be uncomfortable or unwieldy. Modern day restorations will restore tooth structures without the inconvenience of removable dentures. A dental bridge consists of two crowns on either side of a pontic, or a false tooth. These crowns fit over teeth on either side of the gap, to place the pontic crown firmly against your gums. Choosing a fixed bridge restoration will mean it is permanently bonded to your teeth. You won’t feel like you’re struggling with a replacement tooth; it will simply feel like a natural part of your mouth. Call our office to discuss your options today! (303) 768-8443

Our Tooth Replacement Solutions

Metro Smiles Cosmetic Dentistry offers many tooth-replacement options. Our restorative options not only your smile but also aim to restore the natural function of your teeth. Implants can play a supporting role for dental bridges, just as they do for other restorations. If you’re missing several adjacent teeth, implants are particularly helpful. Without that additional strong support, a bridge may not be possible. Implant-supported bridges also replace teeth without drawing on the strength of neighboring structures. This helps your other teeth stay healthy. Not everyone is a candidate for dental implants – the gum tissue and bone must be in optimum health. If you’re curious as to whether you’re a dental implant candidate, simply schedule a consultation for an evaluation and discussion with Dr. Robin.

Caring For Your Dental Bridge

Like other porcelain dental restorations, your bridge will not require extra-special care. Simply brush and floss your bridge as you do your natural teeth. With good oral hygiene of brushing and flossing, your bridge and surrounding teeth will remain clean. This is most important as the bridge relies on healthy neighboring teeth for support. Your smile and oral health will thank you for replacing that missing tooth in the long run!

Dental Bridge FAQs

What is a dental bridge and how does it work?

A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (called pontics) anchored by crowns placed on the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap. The bridge “bridges” the empty space, restoring function and appearance.

How long do dental bridges last?

With proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, dental bridges can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years or longer. The lifespan depends on the materials used, how well you care for your oral health, and avoiding habits like teeth grinding.

Are there different types of dental bridges?

Yes. The most common types include traditional bridges (anchored to natural teeth), cantilever bridges (anchored on only one side), Maryland bridges (bonded with a metal or porcelain framework), and implant-supported bridges. Your dentist at Metro Smiles can recommend the best type based on your needs.

What are the benefits of getting a dental bridge?

Dental bridges help restore your ability to chew and speak properly, maintain your face’s natural shape, prevent remaining teeth from shifting, and improve the aesthetics of your smile. They’re a reliable and long-lasting solution for missing teeth.

Is the procedure for a dental bridge painful?

The process is generally not painful. Your dentist will use local anesthesia to ensure comfort while preparing the supporting teeth and placing the bridge. Some sensitivity may follow, but it’s temporary and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.
