Restore Your Smile With Dental Bridges

More than just your smile, missing teeth can affect your general oral health and self-esteem. The importance of restoring your smile to its full potential is recognized by our amiable and smile-focused dental team. Dental bridges in Abbotsford, BC, can be a dependable and efficient way to replace one or more lost teeth, assisting in the restoration of both appearance and functionality!

What Are Dental Bridges?

This restoration involves a fixed partial denture, also known as a dental bridge which can be used to replace lost teeth by anchoring to the adjacent natural teeth or implants. Dental bridges may be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, or metal, allowing for customization based on aesthetic preferences and functional needs. A fixed bridge can only be removed by a dentist, as opposed to a removable bridge, which you can remove and clean.

How Is This Restoration Placed?

• Preparation of Adjacent Teeth: If you are receiving a traditional bridge, the adjacent teeth (abutments) will be prepared by reshaping them which can accommodate dental crowns designed to support the bridge.
• Impressions and Measurements: Our dentist will take impressions of your teeth and measurements to create a personalized dental bridge that should fit your mouth securely and align successfully with your bite.
• Temporary Bridge: While your permanent bridge is being fabricated, a temporary bridge may be placed which can protect the prepared teeth and maintain aesthetics.
• Placement of the Permanent Bridge: Once the custom bridge is ready, you will return to our practice for placement. Our dentist can then ensure a proper fit and make necessary adjustments before securely cementing the bridge.

Who Can Benefit from Dental Bridges?

Dental bridges might greatly help patients who have lost teeth as a result of decay, trauma, or other dental conditions. By bridging the gaps left by missing teeth, bridges may improve the appearance of the smile and boost self-esteem in social situations. You must have strong abutment teeth to hold the bridge in place and healthy gums in order to be considered for a dental bridge. By using a bridge to replace lost teeth, neighboring teeth can be kept from moving out of alignment and developing new dental issues.
