What Are Dental Bridges?
A missing tooth can make simple things like eating and speaking harder. A dental bridge restores function and helps maintain the natural look of your smile. At Oasis Smiles Dentistry and Vista Oasis Smiles, our teams provide customized solutions to fill the gaps and support your oral health. A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth using a set of artificial teeth anchored by natural teeth or dental implants. The difference between a dental bridge and an implant is that a bridge relies on surrounding teeth for support while an implant is a standalone solution embedded in the jawbone. A bridge is a great option for those who may not be candidates for implants or prefer a less invasive procedure. Schedule a consultation at our San Diego or Vista, CA office to learn more.
How Do Dental Bridges Work?
The dental bridge procedure involves multiple steps. First, the supporting teeth are prepared, and impressions are taken to create a custom-fit bridge. A temporary bridge is placed while your permanent one is being crafted. Once ready, the final bridge is secured, restoring balance and function to your bite. Some sensitivity may occur after placement, but this usually fades quickly. With proper care, a dental bridge can last many years, helping to maintain oral health and prevent teeth from shifting out of place.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge by our practitioners refreshes oral health and appearance. This procedure helps maintain the structure of the jaw and provides the following benefits:
- Restores chewing ability for better digestion and comfort
- Improves speech clarity by filling gaps that can affect pronunciation
- Maintains facial structure by preventing bone loss in the jaw
- Enhances confidence by creating a natural-looking smile
- Prevents tooth movement that can lead to misalignment
- Delivers bite forces evenly to shield your real teeth
