A bridge consists of a false tooth put in place of missing tooth or teeth. A gap between your teeth can be potentially dangerous to your dental health, as it can cause your teeth to shift resulting in a change in your bite that could be painful.
A bridge consists of two crowns that attach a false tooth to the teeth on either side of the missing tooth. But the bridges we make are comfortable, well fitting, and natural looking, so no one will be able to distinguish them from your own teeth. Not only that, our bridges are fixed in place, meaning that you don’t have to remove the replacement for cleaning. Patients say these bridges are so easy to wear, they often forget they are there!
What to expect: A minimum of two visits are required for placing a dental bridge. At the first visit, three important steps are completed. Firstly, the surrounding teeth are prepared to be fitted with a crown. This may including filing down the tooth so that the crown can fit over it. Secondly, an impression is taken of your teeth which will be sent to a laboratory to prepare the bridge and crown. Finally, the dentist fits your teeth with a temporary bridge to protect them while the bridge is prepared at the laboratory. At the second visit, the temporary bridge is removed and the new bridge received from the laboratory is fitted and adjusted. Multiple visits may be necessary to check and adjust the fit.
