Dental bridges are a time-tested solution for replacing missing teeth, offering both functional and aesthetic benefits. Dr. Craig Cardon crafts custom dental bridges in Arvada, Colorado, that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, restoring your smile and chewing ability.
Understanding Dental Bridges
A dental bridge consists of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap created by your missing tooth or teeth. These anchoring teeth are called abutment teeth, with a false tooth or teeth in between. Dental bridges can be supported by natural teeth or dental implants.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
Choosing a dental bridge at Table Mountain Dental comes with several key advantages:
- Restored Smile: Fills the gap in your smile for a more confident appearance.
- Improved Chewing and Speaking: Bridges allow you to eat and speak more comfortably and naturally.
- Maintained Facial Shape: Prevents sagging of the face by supporting the structure of your jaw and cheeks.
- Prevention of Teeth Shifting: Keeps remaining teeth in place by preventing them from moving into the gap.
The Procedure
- Preparation: The abutment teeth are prepared by reshaping to support the bridge.
- Impressions: Impressions of your teeth are taken to create a custom bridge.
- Temporary Bridge: A temporary bridge is fitted while your custom bridge is being made.
- Final Fitting: The new bridge is checked for fit and comfort before being cemented into place.
