Restore Your Smile With Custom Dental Bridges!
Regain your confidence with dental bridges—a versatile solution for replacing missing teeth and enhancing your oral health. Whether you're addressing gaps in your smile or looking to improve your chewing ability, dental bridges offer a reliable and natural-looking option. By securely placing artificial teeth between your existing teeth, bridges not only improve your smile's appearance but also help prevent neighboring teeth from shifting.
At Aura Dentistry and Spa, our experienced dentists craft each bridge to perfectly blend with your natural teeth, ensuring both comfort and long-lasting results. We use advanced technology and precise techniques to deliver exceptional outcomes from start to finish.
Different Types of Dental Bridges
Several types of dental bridges are available to address various dental needs:
- Traditional Fixed Bridge: Pontics are connected to crowns on neighboring natural teeth for stable support.
- Cantilever Bridge: Used when only one adjacent tooth is available for support, making it ideal for certain areas.
- Maryland Bridge: Pontics are secured by a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of adjacent teeth, providing a less invasive option.
What is the Process for Placing Dental Bridges?
Placing a dental bridge involves several key steps to ensure a precise fit and long-lasting results. Here’s an overview of the typical process:
1. Initial Consultation
During your consultation, our dentist in Renton, WA will evaluate your oral health, discuss your options, and recommend the best type of bridge for your needs.
2. Preparation
In the first appointment, the abutment teeth (the teeth adjacent to the gap) will be reshaped to accommodate crowns that will hold the bridge in place.
3. Impressions
Accurate impressions of your teeth will be taken to create a custom bridge that seamlessly matches the color and shape of your natural teeth.
4. Temporary Bridge
While your permanent bridge is being crafted, a temporary bridge will be placed to protect the exposed teeth and maintain functionality.
5. Final Placement
In your next visit, the temporary bridge will be removed, and the new bridge will be carefully fitted and checked for comfort. Once the fit is perfect, the bridge will be permanently cemented or bonded in place.
Do You Need Dental Bridges?
If you’re missing one or more teeth, dental bridges can be an excellent solution. Not only do they enhance the appearance of your smile, but they also restore chewing function and prevent adjacent teeth from shifting. Custom-made to fit your unique dental needs, bridges anchor to neighboring teeth or implants, filling the gap seamlessly. Whether your tooth loss is due to injury, decay, or other causes, dental bridges offer a durable, natural-looking option to improve your oral health and boost your confidence.
