Dental Bridges

Dental Bridges

After a thorough dental exam, maybe a dental bridge is the answer to the pain caused by a missing tooth.  We at Smiles Plus Dental Care can provide you with an individual plan that will meet your needs. A dental bridge will hold in a natural looking prosthetic tooth by anchoring it in place to crowns on your nearby existing teeth. Our professional care team uses high quality materials to prepare your bridge to fill in the gap a caused by a missing tooth. We will make it fit perfectly with the rest of your teeth for a long-lasting, natural smile.  Your comfort and appearance are very important to us at Smiles Plus Dental Care!  

We use dental bridges to:

-Maintain your proper jaw and tooth alignment.

-Restore your proper jaw and tooth alignment.

-Restore your bite so you can chew normally.

-Help prevent bone loss in your jawline that missing teeth can cause.

-Fill in a missing tooth when an implant cannot be done or is too expensive. A dental bridge can be a more affordable option.

During your consultation, our highly trained team at Smiles Plus Dental Care will do an examination, take x-rays and go over your options for a personalized treatment plan for you. A fixed implant bridge looks, feels and functions like you’re your own teeth. After a short adjustment period your bridge will feel natural and comfortable in your mouth.  We will take impressions of your mouth and  place a temporary bridge over the treatment site while your permanent bridge is being made. Once the permanent bridge is finished, you will come back to the dental clinic to have your temporary bridge removed and the permanent bridge firmly placed in your mouth.  It will become a part of your natural smile!
