A complete and beautiful smile is a source of pride and helps you put your best foot forward in every interaction. On the other hand, missing teeth not only present several dental health issues, but it can also harm your confidence and self-esteem. Sopris Smiles has the answer you need if you have lost multiple teeth. Get in touch with our office today and ask about our high-quality dental bridges!
Dental bridges are restorative dental prosthetics that look and function like your natural teeth. They are called bridges because they are typically comprised of multiple prosthetic teeth and can be used in areas where there are one or more missing teeth – effectively “bridging” the gap in your smile.
Advanced dental technology for efficient, comfortable treatments with same-day results and faster healing.
You can think of bridges as small-scale dentures used in instances where there are healthy remaining teeth. The bridge itself is made out of crowns (false, hollow teeth that mimic natural teeth) and a pontic, which is the part of the bridge that will be covering the gap in your smile. The crowns work like anchors and are adjusted over existing healthy teeth or dental implants in instances in which there are no teeth to support the bridge.
Then it’s time to restore your smile! The experts at Sopris Smiles are excited to help you regain the joy of sharing your beautiful smile with the world. Call us today to get started!
Leaving a gap untreated can lead to a number of issues over time. Neighboring teeth may begin to drift into the empty space, your bite can shift, and the jawbone in that area may start to deteriorate without the stimulation of a tooth root. A dental bridge is one way to restore your smile, protect your surrounding teeth, and prevent these downstream complications before they start.
The process typically involves two visits. During the first appointment, the teeth on either side of the gap are prepared to anchor the bridge, and impressions are taken so your restoration can be custom-crafted to fit your bite and blend with your natural teeth. At the second visit, the bridge is placed and adjusted for comfort. Dr. Golnaz takes a detail-oriented approach to every restoration to make sure the fit and appearance meet a high standard.
Both options are effective ways to replace a missing tooth, and the right choice depends on your individual oral health, bone structure, and goals. A bridge is a great solution when the surrounding teeth are healthy and strong enough to support it. Dr. Golnaz will walk you through all of your options during a comprehensive evaluation and help you make the decision that makes the most sense for your long-term health and smile.
