Your Smile's Strongest Link
Unfortunately, missing teeth can cause a cascade of problems – from your bite to your speech, it can make life difficult and make you make you feel self-conscious. And let's not forget about how they can affect your smile – gaps can make you feel less confident. A dental bridge is the perfect solution to bridge these gaps, both literally and figuratively. A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that fills in the gap where you have missing teeth. It's crafted to look and function just like your natural teeth!
Schedule a consultationLet’s face it: missing teeth are a real confidence killer. A dental bridge can restore beauty and symmetry and give you a reason to flash your pearly whites again.
If you have missing teeth, it can really be a hindrance to your eating. Dental bridges help restore your chewing ability so that you can get back to enjoying all your favorite foods without worry.
Did you know that your teeth stimulate your jawbone? When teeth you have some missing, your jawbone can start to deteriorate. Therefore, dental bridges help preserve your jawbone's health.
Getting a dental bridge is a multi-step process that starts with a consultation with Dr. Mehta. He’ll assess your oral health, discuss your treatment options, and create a personalized plan for your way forward. After a plan has been agreed upon, your teeth will be prepared for your dental bridge. We place custom-made bridges to wear temporarily to protect the prepared teeth until your permanent bridge is ready. Once it is, we carefully cement or bond your bridge place to restore your smile.
How long will my dental bridge last?
The lifespan of your dental bridge can vary, but with proper care, it can last up to 15 years! The type of bridge you get, the materials used, and your dental health will all influence its longevity. We recommend regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene to maximize the lifespan of your dental bridge.
Will getting a dental bridge be painful?
We use local anesthesia to numb the area when placing your dentures to make the process as painless as can be. You might experience some mild discomfort or soreness after the anesthesia wears off, but this is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.
How long will my procedure take?
Usually, this procedure involves multiple appointments over several weeks. While your first appointment with Dr. Mehta is for consultation and planning, the subsequent ones are all for preparing the teeth, taking impressions, fitting the temporary bridge, and finally, placing the permanent bridge.
What happens if my dental bridge breaks?
If your dental bridge breaks, it's important to contact Dr. Mehta immediately! He’ll assess your damage and repair or replace your bridge depending on the extend of the damage.
