Bridging The Gap in Your Smile With Custom Dental Bridges
Missing teeth can affect both your confidence and oral health, but dental bridges offer a durable, natural-looking solution. At Stonehaven Dental & Orthodontics – Waco, we provide custom dental bridges designed to restore function, improve aesthetics, and prevent issues like shifting teeth or bite misalignment.
Our bridges are crafted from high-quality materials such as porcelain, ceramic zirconia, and composite resin, ensuring a seamless blend with your natural teeth. Whether you're missing a single tooth or multiple teeth, our skilled team will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Who Is The Best Candidate For Dental Bridges?
You may be suitable for dental bridges if you maintain good oral hygiene, including regular brushing and flossing, and have one or more missing teeth. During your consultation our dentist will assess your oral condition and suggest the best treatment. Get the chance to close the gap between teeth and open doors to a new smile with custom-made bridges.
Various Types Of Bridges You Can Opt For?
Teeth bridges are available in different types, each designed to address patient’s needs -
- Traditional Bridges: These are the most common varieties of bridges. These porcelain pontics are fused with metal.
- Cantilever Bridges: These dental devices are used when an adjacent tooth is available for support.
- Maryland Bridges: They secure pontics with metal or porcelain frameworks bonded to adjacent teeth' backs.
The Dental Bridge Procedure at Our Waco Clinic
We take great care in every step of the bridge placement process to ensure a precise and seamless restoration of your smile.
- The process of placing bridges starts with the consultation with our dentists. After a complete oral examination, we will discuss the your restoration options.
- The next step is preparation. In the first visit, the adjustment teeth are reshaped to fit the crowns that will support the bridges.
- After preparing your teeth, we take an accurate impression of your teeth to design the custom bridge that blends perfectly with the natural teeth.
- Next, we'll place a temporary bridge to protect the exposed teeth, while the permanent bridge is made in between.
- During your follow-up visit, the temporary bridge is first removed, and the new bridge is adjusted for fit and comfort before the permanent bridge is bonded to the right place.
- Our dentists expertly manage each step of the replacement procedure to ensure seamless tooth restoration and a radiant smile.
