Dental Bridges at Familia Dental

Dental bridges deliver an immediate enhancement to your smile, while simultaneously safeguarding adjacent teeth from shifting into vacant spots. Unlike removable dentures, bridges are fixed securely in place, allowing you to savor your preferred dishes without worry. The porcelain used in bridges closely mimics the appearance of natural tooth enamel, ensuring results that are both authentic in look and comfortable in feel.

• Restore your chewing ability for improved nutritional intake
• Preserve facial contours and ward off premature aging
• Enhance speech clarity that may be compromised by gaps
• Elevate self-esteem with a full and appealing smile

Establishing your dental bridge typically involves two pleasant visits to our facility. In the initial appointment, our dentists will carefully prepare the neighboring teeth and capture precise impressions. A temporary bridge will safeguard your teeth while our dental lab fabricates your permanent solution. During the second session, we will remove the temporary bridge and bond your custom-crafted bridge using dental cement, ensuring a flawless fit and a natural bite.

What is the average lifespan of dental bridges?

With diligent care and consistent dental check-ups, the majority of bridges can function effectively for 10 to 15 years. Regular brushing, flossing, and steering clear of excessively hard foods can significantly prolong their durability.

Will my dental bridge feel comfortable for eating and speaking?

Most individuals adapt to their bridges within a few days. The bridge is designed to feel stable and secure, allowing for normal eating and clear speech without any discomfort or instability.

What is the proper way to care for my dental bridge?

You should clean your bridge just like your natural teeth by brushing regularly. Utilize floss threaders or water flossers to effectively clean beneath the bridge where food particles may accumulate.
