Closing the Gaps for a Complete Smile
Missing teeth can make eating and speaking more difficult while affecting the appearance of your smile. A dental bridge offers a reliable solution by replacing one or more missing teeth with a natural-looking restoration anchored to the surrounding teeth or dental implants. At Perfect Smile Dental Care, we create custom bridges that restore both the function and aesthetics of your smile.
Dr. Tasneem Nabelsi, Dr. Maissa Agha, and Dr. Adrien Hamedi use precise techniques and high-quality materials to ensure your bridge fits comfortably, blends seamlessly, and provides long-term stability.
When a Dental Bridge May Be Recommended
- Replacing one or more consecutive missing teeth
- Preventing remaining teeth from shifting out of alignment
- Improving bite function and chewing efficiency
- Restoring facial balance and smile aesthetics
- Supporting long-term oral health by evenly distributing bite forces
Types of Dental Bridges
- Traditional Bridges: Supported by dental crowns placed on the adjacent teeth.
- Cantilever Bridges: Anchored on only one adjacent tooth, used in specific cases.
- Maryland Bonded Bridges: Held in place by a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of adjacent teeth.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: Anchored to dental implants for maximum stability and bone preservation.
The Dental Bridge Process
- Consultation & Planning: We assess your oral health and recommend the most suitable bridge type.
- Tooth Preparation: The supporting teeth may be shaped to accommodate crowns or attachments.
- Impressions or Digital Scans: Used to create a precise, custom-fit bridge.
- Temporary Bridge: Protects the prepared area until the permanent bridge is ready.
- Final Placement: Your bridge is adjusted for comfort, appearance, and bite alignment before being securely fixed in place.
