Dental Bridges

At Gentle Dentist in St. Clair Shores, MI, we offer top-quality dental bridges to help you restore your smile and maintain oral health. Dental bridges are fixed prosthetic devices used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. They fill the gap created by missing teeth, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

Dental bridges offer several advantages, including:

• Restored Function: Bridges restore your ability to chew and speak properly by filling in the gaps left by missing teeth.
• Aesthetic Improvement: They enhance the appearance of your smile by replacing missing teeth with natural-looking prosthetics.
• Preventing Tooth Movement: By filling the gaps, bridges prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of position, which can lead to bite problems and other dental issues.
• Maintained Facial Structure: Replacing missing teeth helps maintain the shape of your face, preventing a sunken appearance.
• Durability: Made from robust materials like porcelain or metal, bridges are designed to withstand the pressures of daily use.

How Long Does the Dental Bridge Procedure Take?

The dental bridge procedure typically involves two to three visits to our office. During the first visit, we prepare the abutment teeth (the teeth on either side of the gap), take impressions, and place a temporary bridge. This visit usually takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. The impressions are sent to a dental lab to create your custom bridge, which typically takes about one to two weeks. During the second visit, we fit and adjust the permanent bridge, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit. This visit generally takes about 30 minutes to an hour. In total, the process usually spans two to three weeks.
