Complete Your Smile

A dental crown and bridge is among one of the most common options to fill the space of one or more missing teeth. It is an affordable and convenient solutions to complete your smile to restore your confidence. In just a couple of appointments, you will regain the ability to chew many of your favorite foods and to speak clearly.

A dental bridge essentially bridges the gap between missing teeth. Using precise measurements, prosthetic teeth are created to fill the space. They are attached to a metal framework that attaches to the adjacent teeth. Dental crowns are them bonded to them to hold the oral device in place.

The replacement teeth and dental crowns will be made to match your exact specifications in terms of size, shape, and color. They will look like natural teeth to blend in seamlessly with your smile.

Restore Your Confidence

After an initial consultation, your dentist will create a customized treatment plan to replace your missing teeth. On average, it will take about two appointments to complete your smile. In some cases, you may require the removal or treatment of decayed or damaged teeth prior to moving forward with the treatment.

During the first visit, your natural teeth will be examined to ensure that they can support the crowns to hold the bridge in place. They will then be reshaped to allow the caps to be placed over them. Impressions and measurements are taken to create the bridge and crowns with precision and accuracy.

Temporary crowns and a substitute bridge are used while you wait for the dental lab to create your final ones. After they are ready, you will return for your second appointment to have them bonded in place. You will require a follow up appointment in a couple of weeks to ensure the bridge is fitting and functioning correctly.

With the right care, your new smile can last for an average of 10 years before needing to be replaced. By maintaining your home oral hygiene and regular visits to your dentist for a cleaning and checkup, you can help to promote the longevity of the device.
