From Embarrassing Gaps to Confident Smiles with Dental Bridges
Have you lost one or more teeth in a row? Rediscover your smile and confidence with high-quality bridges in Milford, Massachusetts. Expertly placed at Drs. Ko, Bressler & Kashefi, dental bridges feel like having your natural teeth back. Chew, smile, laugh, and enjoy life without holding back.
What is a dental bridge?
Dental bridges are fixed restorations that substitute one or more missing teeth by filling the space between your natural teeth. They use artificial teeth (pontics), which are secured by dental crowns placed on the support teeth on either side of the gap.
Bridges are an excellent option for patients ineligible for dental implants but prefer a non-removable solution. Dental bridges restore the look of a complete smile and improve chewing, speaking, and overall oral health.
The dental bridge procedure: What should I expect?
Our office takes immense pride in our team’s exceptional skills and experience. If you’re in need of a dental bridge, you can expect a seamless, comfortable treatment. Here’s how your procedure unfolds:
- Examination: We’ll assess your smile, support teeth, and overall health to determine your eligibility for a dental bridge.
- Teeth preparation: We prepare the support teeth by reshaping the enamel to create a sturdy foundation for dental crowns.
- Impressions: We take digital scans of the prepped teeth and send the scans to our dental lab to custom-create your restoration. Until your bridge is ready, we’ll protect your teeth with a provisional restoration.
- Placement: During your second visit, we’ll assess the fit and appearance of your bridge. A few adjustments may be necessary to ensure everything looks and feels right.
Getting used to your bridge will take a few days or weeks. However, everything will feel as part of your dentition after the adjustment period. You’ll speak, chew, and smile like you have 100% natural teeth.
Are dental bridges worth it?
Dental bridges are more than a tooth replacement. From confident selfies to comfortable chewing, bridges feel like a new beginning. Here are the many benefits of dental bridges:
- Enhanced aesthetics: Our bridges are created with life-like materials that blend seamlessly with your smile. Your teeth don’t stand out or look artificial.
- Speak clearly: Losing a few front teeth can affect how you speak. Dental bridges fill the gaps, restoring your natural speaking ability.
- Renewed chewing ability: Bridges restore your chewing/biting power, allowing you to enjoy a wider selection of foods.
- Durable fix: Bridges can withstand the everyday demands of chewing and grinding, providing a long-lasting solution for missing teeth.
- Confidence boost: No more half smiles because you are insecure about your gaps. Smile ear to ear with a fully restored smile.
- Maintain teeth alignment: Gaps in your smile can cause remaining teeth to tilt, affecting your alignment. Dental bridges fill the gaps to keep every tooth in its rightful place.
- Convenient maintenance: Bridges are cared for like natural teeth with brushing and flossing. There’s no need for nightly soaks or special maintenance rituals.
