Dental Bridges
A dental bridge may be the solution if you have one or more missing or severely damaged teeth. It is an effective procedure that can replace missing teeth and restore aesthetics by filling spaces created by tooth loss caused by trauma or decay.
At Jamaica Estates Dental, our dentists can discuss why getting a dental bridge may benefit your smile’s appearance and explain what it entails so you can decide whether this solution might work for you at your first in-person appointment.
Dental bridge placement requires the precision and expertise of a trained dental professional. Before starting the placement process, our Jamaica Estates dentists must thoroughly examine the patient’s teeth, gums, and bite.
After determining that a dental bridge is the best course of action, the teeth supporting the bridge are prepared by removing a small portion of enamel to make room for the bridge. Then, we take impressions of the teeth and send this information to our dental laboratory, where fabrication happens. While you wait, our dentists will place a temporary bridge to keep your smile functional and full.
Once ready, the dental bridge is carefully fitted to the prepared teeth and adjusted for comfort and proper bite alignment. This crucial step ensures that the bridge will function and blend seamlessly with the patient’s natural teeth. The result is a restored smile that looks and feels natural.
Fortunately, Jamaica Estates Dental offers many ways to improve your appearance and give yourself the beautiful smile you have always wanted. One excellent option is a dental bridge, which can help restore balance and evenness in your situation while providing an aesthetic result that will make smiling more accessible after severe damage, decay, or loss.
