Improve your Smile with Dental Bridges from Bogota Dentistry
Dental Bridges in New Jersey
Bone Graft with Dental Bridge
Dental bridges literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth.
A bridge is made up of two crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap - these two anchoring teeth are called abutment teeth - and a false tooth/teeth in between. These false teeth are called pontics and can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain or a combination of these materials. Dental bridges are supported by natural teeth or implants.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Bridges?
Bridges:
- Restore your smile
- Restore your ability to properly chew and speak
- Maintain the shape of your face
- Distribute the forces in your bite properly by replacing missing teeth
- Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position
How Dental Bridges Work
There are several types of dental bridges to choose from:
- Cantilever bridges are used to replace a tooth that does not have supporting teeth on both sides of the affected area.
- Maryland bonded bridges include artificial teeth and gums, and are held in place by a metal frame.
- Traditional bridges are the most common, and literally bridge the gap of an empty tooth space by securing a false tooth using crowns on the teeth on either side.
The procedure requires three visits to our office, and involves first preparing the teeth that will support the bridge. We do this by filing them somewhat to make room for the device, and then fitting them for crowns. Then, on the next visit, we bond the crowns to the supporting teeth, and molds are taken for the actual dental bridge.
On your third and last visit, we will affix dental bridge to the supporting crowns. Then, you can go ahead and smile!
