If you’ve lost a tooth or multiple teeth in a row, a dental bridge might be the perfect solution for you. Dr. Benson Bagley offers dental bridges to replace missing teeth, effectively closing gaps in your smile and restoring your ability to eat and speak with confidence.
A dental bridge is a fixed, non-removable restoration designed to replace one or more missing teeth. The bridge consists of prosthetic teeth that are anchored securely in place using crowns attached to the teeth on either side of the gap. In some cases, these crowns may be supported by dental implants, providing even greater stability. The crowns serve to keep the artificial tooth in place, ensuring that it remains secure and doesn’t shift or come loose.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
- Restoring your ability to eat, speak, and chew normally.
- Reducing excess stress on your bite.
- Enhancing the shape and volume of your face.
- Providing a permanent alternative to a removable partial denture.
- Preventing your remaining teeth from shifting out of alignment.
- Improving the overall appearance of your smile.
The process of getting a dental bridge typically requires two appointments. During the first visit, Dr. Bagley will prepare your teeth to receive the bridge and take precise impressions. At the second appointment, your custom-made bridge will be placed, and Dr. Bagley will ensure it fits perfectly before bonding it permanently in place.
