At Santa Ana Magic Smile, we understand how missing teeth can affect your confidence and oral health. Our dental bridge services offer a reliable, attractive solution to restore your smile and improve your quality of life.
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a custom-made prosthetic device designed to replace one or more missing teeth. It “bridges” the gap created by missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics to your smile.
Types of Dental Bridges
We offer several types of dental bridges to suit your unique needs:
1. Traditional Bridges
The most common type, consisting of one or more artificial teeth held in place by dental crowns on the adjacent teeth.
2. Cantilever Bridges
Similar to traditional bridges but used when there are supporting teeth on only one side of the missing tooth.
3. Maryland Bridges
A conservative option that uses a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of the adjacent teeth.
4. Implant-Supported Bridges
The most stable option, anchored by dental implants for a permanent solution.
The Dental Bridge Procedure
Getting a dental bridge typically involves the following steps:
- Initial consultation and examination
- Preparation of adjacent teeth (if necessary)
- Taking impressions for the custom bridge
- Placement of a temporary bridge
- Fitting and adjusting the permanent bridge
Benefits of Dental Bridges
Choosing a dental bridge can provide numerous advantages:
- Restore your ability to chew and speak properly
- Maintain the shape of your face
- Prevent remaining teeth from shifting
- Distribute bite forces evenly
- Enhance your smile and boost confidence
Caring for Your Dental Bridge
With proper care, your dental bridge can last 5-15 years or even longer. We recommend:
- Brushing twice daily and flossing regularly
- Using a floss threader or interdental brush
- Avoiding hard or sticky foods
- Regular dental check-ups and cleanings
