Dental bridges are a reliable solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. At Tilley Family Dentistry, bridges are custom-designed to restore your ability to chew comfortably, maintain proper bite alignment, and improve the appearance of your smile.
By filling the gap left by missing teeth, a dental bridge helps protect surrounding teeth and supports long-term oral health.
Missing teeth can affect more than just your smile. Gaps in your teeth can lead to shifting, bite problems, and difficulty chewing or speaking.
A dental bridge may be recommended if you:
Are missing one or more teeth in a row
Have healthy teeth on either side of the gap
Want a fixed tooth replacement option
Are not a candidate for or are not ready for dental implants
A dental bridge is made up of one or more replacement teeth supported by crowns placed on the adjacent natural teeth. These supporting teeth anchor the bridge securely in place.
Dental bridges help:
Placing a dental bridge typically involves two visits. During the first visit, the supporting teeth are prepared and impressions are taken to create a precise restoration.
The process includes:
Preparing the neighboring teeth for crowns
Taking impressions for a custom bridge
Placing a temporary bridge for protection
Securing the final bridge once it is ready
Proper care helps extend the life of your dental bridge and protects the surrounding teeth and gums.
