At Kettle Valley Family Dental, we understand how important it is to have a healthy and complete smile. If you are missing one or more teeth, a dental bridge may be the perfect solution for you. Our dental team can help you understand the benefits of dental bridges and provide the care you need to restore your smile.
What are dental bridges?
Dental bridges are a type of dental restoration that is used to replace missing teeth. The bridge is made up of two or more dental crowns that are attached to the remaining teeth on either side of the gap. The crowns act as anchors for the bridge, which consists of one or more false teeth that fill in the gap.
There are several types of dental bridges and our team can help you determine which type of bridge is right for you based on your individual needs and preferences.
Benefits of dental bridges
Dental bridges offer a number of benefits for patients who are missing one or more teeth. Some of the most important benefits include:
- Restored ability to chew and speak properly
- Improved appearance and self-confidence
- Maintained facial structure and shape
- Reduced risk of gum disease and other oral health issues
- Increased longevity of surrounding teeth
What to expect during the dental bridge procedure
At Kettle Valley Family Dental, we understand that many patients may feel anxious or nervous about undergoing dental procedures. That’s why we take the time to explain the process and answer any questions you may have before we begin.
The dental bridge procedure typically involves two or more appointments. During the first appointment, our dentist will prepare the teeth on either side of the gap to receive the dental crowns. This may involve removing a small amount of enamel to make room for the crowns.
Our dentist will then take impressions of your teeth and send them to a dental lab, where your custom bridge will be created. In the meantime, we will provide you with a temporary bridge to wear to protect your teeth and gums.
During your second appointment, our dentist will remove the temporary bridge and carefully place your permanent bridge in your mouth. Our dentist will then make any necessary adjustments to ensure that your bridge fits comfortably and looks natural.
