Dental Bridges

If one or a few of your teeth are missing, it's more than just a problem with appearance — gaps in your teeth can cause your remaining teeth to shift out of place. This can lead to extra tension when you bite, pain during chewing, or even trouble speaking. A dental bridge restores the appearance and health of your smile by filling in gaps using a false tooth supported by either dental implants, your natural teeth, or a combination of both. At Cedar House Family Dentistry, our expert dentist offer custom-made bridges with top-quality materials that will help to give you back your beautiful smile. If you have one or more teeth missing from your smile, schedule a consultation to learn more about your restoration options with a custom bridge.

At Cedar House Family Dentistry, dental bridges can help restore a person's complete smile in addition to offering several other benefits, including:

A dental bridge requires the surrounding teeth to be strong enough to support the restoration with good jawbone density and gums. During your first appointment at Cedar House Family Dentistry, a through examination will be performed, and a 3D oral impressions will be captured so your bridge can be created. If needed, a temporary bridge or restoration can be used while your custom bridge is being made. As soon as your dental bridge is ready, your mouth will be numbed with local anesthesia, and your dental bridge will be cemented into its position or connected to dental implants. Your practitioner will adjust the position of the bridge to ensure a comfortable bite and secure fit. After your bridge is in place, you should notice improved function and appearance of your teeth.
