in Denver, CO
At Brilliant Family Dentistry in Denver, CO, dental bridges offer a durable and aesthetic solution for replacing missing teeth. This restorative treatment helps bridge the gap left by one or more missing teeth, restoring both the function and appearance of your smile. We are dedicated to providing personalized care to help you regain your confidence and oral health.
Understanding Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth by permanently joining an artificial tooth to adjacent teeth or dental implants. It consists of crowns on either side of the gap, called abutment teeth, which anchor the false tooth or pontic in between. Bridges help prevent remaining teeth from shifting, improve chewing ability, and restore your natural speech.
Your Bridge Placement Process
Tooth Preparation
During your initial visit, the abutment teeth on either side of the gap are gently reshaped to accommodate the crowns that will hold the bridge. A small amount of enamel is removed to create space for the bridge to fit securely and naturally.
Impressions & Temporary Bridge
After preparing the abutment teeth, precise digital scans or traditional impressions are taken to create a detailed model of your mouth. This model is sent to a dental laboratory, where your custom bridge will be crafted. A temporary bridge will be placed to protect your prepared teeth and maintain aesthetics.
Bridge Fabrication
The dental laboratory will meticulously fabricate your permanent bridge from high-quality materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys, ensuring it matches the color and shape of your existing teeth. This custom creation process typically takes a couple of weeks to complete.
Permanent Placement
Once your custom bridge is ready, you will return for your final appointment. The temporary bridge is removed, and your new permanent bridge is carefully fitted and adjusted to ensure proper bite and comfort. It is then securely bonded into place, completing your smile restoration.
