When Is a Dental Bridge Recommended?
You may need a bridge if you have:
- One or more missing teeth
- Healthy teeth on either side of the gap
- Difficulty chewing or speaking due to missing teeth
- Shifting or misaligned teeth caused by a missing tooth
- A desire for a fixed, non-removable tooth replacement
What to Expect When Getting a Dental Bridge
- Evaluation & Treatment Planning Dr. Owji performs a thorough exam and discusses your options to determine if a dental bridge is the best fit for your needs.
- Tooth Preparation The adjacent teeth (abutments) are gently reshaped to support the crowns that anchor the bridge.
- Impressions & Temporary Bridge Impressions are taken to create your custom bridge. A temporary bridge is placed while your final restoration is crafted.
- Final Bridge Placement Once ready, your bridge is securely bonded into place, restoring your smile’s appearance and function.
- Aftercare & Maintenance We provide care instructions and recommend regular checkups to ensure the longevity and health of your dental bridge.
