For patients struggling with tooth loss, our dentist can close or bridge gaps in the smile with a dental bridge, a budget-friendly solution designed to restore the functionality and esthetic appearance of the smile. With top technologies and a customized approach, our team can restore your smile with top dental bridges in Spring Hope, NC, including:
Traditional Dental Bridges
At Spring Hope Family Dentistry, traditional bridges are the most common and most popular style of bridge. A traditional bridge consists of one or more pontics (synthetic teeth) and are fastened in place with dental crowns, sometimes referred to as abutments. Traditional bridges can be the ideal solution for replacing a single tooth, for patients who have natural teeth remaining on each side of the gap in your smile.
Cantilever Bridges
Cantilever bridges are often used when there is a missing tooth at the end of a dental arch. Cantilever dental bridges are supported by only one tooth on one side of the missing tooth gap. This makes them a less invasive option compared to traditional bridges, which require dental crowns on both sides of the gap.
Implant-Supported Dental Bridges
Implant-supported dental bridges are a durable and long-lasting option for replacing missing teeth. They involve dental implants that are surgically placed into the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for the bridge. This type of bridge offers a more natural appearance and better function compared to traditional, cantilever, or Maryland bridges.
The Dental Bridge Process
At Spring Hope Family Dentistry, receiving your dental bridge will begin with a thorough examination, including dental x-rays, to allow your dentist to determine if you are an ideal candidate for a bridge. Your dentist will repair the existing teeth for the dental bridge, then take a gentle impression of the teeth that will be used to custom-craft your bridge restoration. When your dental bridge is placed, our team will provide all the guidance you need to maintain your restored smile well into the future!
