Why Replacing Missing Teeth Matters

Missing teeth can cause all kinds of health problems. When your teeth are missing, it can be more difficult to chew and speak properly, hampering your day-to-day life. Missing teeth also cause your other teeth to shift, affecting the alignment of your bite and causing orthodontic problems. Food and bacteria can also get caught in the gaps between your teeth, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease.

When you’re missing teeth, you might not want to smile as much—and that’s something we want to address! Feeling confident in your smile can improve your mental health and quality of life. We’re here to help.

Alternatives We May Discuss

Bridges are not the only way to replace missing teeth. Implants and dentures are also excellent options. When you visit Fresh Dental, our dental team will help you determine which option is right for you, depending on your oral health, overall health, and personal preferences.

What To Expect With A Dental Bridge At Fresh Dental

STEP 1: Consultation And Treatment Planning

We’ll begin with a detailed consultation. Our dentist will assess your natural teeth, jawbone health, and recommend the right tooth replacement option. If needed, we’ll treat gum issues or decay before moving forward.. During this consultation, we will determine if a dental bridge is the right solution for you. We’ll discuss other treatment options, how to care for dental bridges, and the benefits and drawbacks of getting a dental bridge.

STEP 2: Tooth Prep And Temporary Bridge

We’ll prepare the surrounding teeth on each side of the gap by filing them down. A temporary crown will protect the area while we fabricate your custom dental bridge. If implants are used, they’ll serve as anchors instead of existing natural teeth.

STEP 3: Custom Bridge Placement And Fit

In a follow-up appointment, your dentist will place the custom bridgeor the final dental bridge, ensuring a precise fit over your natural teeth or implants. This type of tooth replacement is fixed in place—unlike removable dentures.

STEP 4: Final Adjustments and Long-Term results

Adjusting to dental bridges can take some time; we can schedule follow-up appointments.With proper care, your dental bridge can last for years and protect your surrounding teeth from further movement.

What Our Patients Have To Say

Types of Dental Bridges We Offer

Traditional Fixed Bridge

Traditional bridges use your healthy, natural teeth as anchors for the bridge.

Cantilever And Maryland Bridges

Cantilever bridges are used when you only have natural teeth on one side of the gap in your smile.
Maryland bridges use metal wings instead of crowns; they’re used on front teeth as an affordable alternative to traditional bridges. They are not strong enough to withstand the chewing forces on back teeth. But tooth preparation is minimal and they are a more conservative option.

Implant-Supported Bridges

Implant-supported bridges are used when the adjacent teeth to the gap in your smile are not strong enough to support a bridge, or when they’re missing. Dental implants are anchored into your mouth, then used to support the dental bridge.
