Crowns and BridgesDental Bridges: Find out How These Simple Solutions Could Restore Your Missing Teeth.

While we often associate tooth loss with children, the fact of the matter is that millions of American adults also face tooth loss. Of course, no matter your age, our dentist, Dr. Alexander Smith at The Family Dentist office in Westminster, CO, understands that replacing a missing tooth is a serious matter that requires immediate attention. Luckily, a dental bridge is an easy solution that could replace your missing teeth in no time.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

This fixed-in-place oral prosthetic is designed to fill that gap in your smile with a false tooth. The false tooth, also known as a pontic, is custom-made to look just like the rest of your teeth. As a result, the only person who will know that you have an artificial tooth is you! For it to stay in place, the bridge will then be attached to the healthy natural teeth that surround the gap to support the artificial tooth.

Dental bridges can be made from a variety of different materials such as:

  • Porcelain
  • Ceramic

What Is the Dental Bridge Procedure Like?

In most instances, our Westminster, CO, general dentist will be able to place the dental bridge in two appointments. The first appointment we will need to prep the two natural teeth for their dental crowns. In order to do that, we will need to shave the teeth down so that the crowns can fit over them. Once the teeth are prepped, we will take impressions of your mouth. These impressions are then sent to a lab so they can create your custom restoration.

Once your bridge has been fabricated we will check the look and fit of the restoration and make sure you are fully satisfied before we cement it permanently into place.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Bridge?

If you are an adult who is missing a tooth and wants a fast, non-surgical approach to treating their tooth loss, then this could be the right option for you! Of course, in order to verify that you are a good candidate for a dental bridge, we will need to check the health of your teeth to make sure they are strong enough support the dental bridge.

Don’t let a missing tooth ruin the health and appearance of your smile. Our family dentist offers a variety of options to meet your smile needs. Call The Family Dentist in Westminster, CO, today at (303) 427-8690 and let us know that you want to schedule a consultation with us to discuss whether dental bridges are right for you.
