What Is A Dental Bridge?
If one or more of your teeth are missing, it's not just a cosmetic problem — gaps in your teeth can cause your remaining teeth to shift. This can result in extra tension in your bite, increased pain when you chew, or even difficulty speaking. A bridge improves the appearance and health of your smile by covering gaps using a false tooth that is supported by either crowns, dental implants, or a combination of both. At Benjamin Lievense, DDS PLLC in Saginaw, MI, we offer custom bridges made with top-quality materials that will help to give you back your smile. If you have missing teeth, please schedule an appointment to learn more about your restoration options with a dental bridge.
What Can I Expect with Dental Bridges?
After your supporting teeth are filed down to prepare them, we will take digital x-rays and impressions of your teeth so your custom bridge can be created. If needed, a temporary bridge may be placed while your custom one is crafted. As soon as your restoration is ready, the needed areas of your mouth will be given local anesthesia. Stronger anesthesia or sedation options may be discussed for fears, anxieties, or trouble with a gag reflex so that you will be comfortable during the placement. Your bridge can be cemented into its position or connected to dental implants based on the support selected during your consultation. The bridge will be adjusted so it feels right and remains in place.
