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
Oasis Smiles Dentistry Reviews
Dr. Bohr is an experienced and knowlegable professional who provides great service. She is pleasant to work with, gets right to the issue, explains everything clearly, and produces timely results. She understands pain management and offers competitive pricing. I had a dental emergency, (a broken bridge), last Friday in the afternoon. I called Oasis Smiles at about 3pm, and was invited to come in to the office immediately. Even though it was late on a Friday, Dr. Bohr and her staff gave me immediate care, and were able to create a temporary bridge for the emergency. They gave me a followup appointment for Monday morning, and performed everything needed to set up the lab work that was needed to rebuild the bridge. I am very thankful for how they handled my dental emergency, and how quickly they were able to handle what was needed in a timely manner.
I found Oasis Smiles a very friendly place and Dr. Bhore very pleasant to work with. The proceduer was conducted painlessly and the after care was very well explained. I shall recommend this place to all my friends.
Honestly 10/10 from the minute I walked in the door Tracy was so nice and helpful and so funny. Nancy was so kind while helping me in the back as well. The doctor was amazing as well I definitely will be staying here!!! Thank you so much!!
Most important quality of Dr Bhor is she will do what is needed. Suggests what can be done later and does not try to get more work than needed. High quality work, excellent pain management. Tried many dentists in the past but this one stands out.
Most fun I have ever had at the Dentist Office. BetweenTracy and Dr Bhor I was given answers for all my questions and all concerns were addressed. I am extremely comfortable with the treatment plan presented. Retired Navy Master Chief and strongly recommend Vista Oasis Smiles.
