Is a missing tooth leaving a gap in your grin? Dental bridges can bridge the gap with an artificial tooth that aligns with the rest of your smile.
Missing teeth can create a ripple effect, impacting everything from how you eat to the alignment of your remaining teeth. Dental bridges rebuild the structure of your smile with precision, seamlessly replacing missing teeth to restore both function and appearance. They help restore balance to your bite and protect the long-term health of your smile.
At Enso Dental Arts, we view dentistry as a partnership built on trust and understanding. Dr. Hiruma and her team approach every treatment with care, ensuring your dental bridge meets your specific needs. With a focus on quality and patient comfort, we’re here to make sure you leave our office with a smile you’re proud to share.
Dental bridges can be used to replace up to 3 consecutive missing teeth.
Dental bridges offer a wide range of advantages that go beyond simply replacing missing teeth. From restoring essential functions to improving your smile’s overall health and appearance, they provide solutions that enhance your quality of life. Here are some of the key benefits:
Dental bridges make eating and speaking more natural and enjoyable by replacing missing teeth with sturdy, reliable restorations. They help distribute the pressure evenly across your bite, preventing discomfort and ensuring your teeth work together as they should.
Designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, bridges restore the look of a complete smile. They help maintain your facial structure and prevent the sunken appearance that can occur when teeth are missing, giving you a confident, refreshed look.
Bridges support the alignment of your remaining teeth, preventing them from shifting into the empty space. This helps protect the overall balance of your bite and reduces the risk of complications like uneven wear or jaw issues.
A full, healthy smile can improve your self-esteem and make you feel more comfortable in social and any other settings. Dental bridges allow you to smile freely and enjoy life without worrying about gaps or missing teeth.
At Enso Dental Arts, the process of getting a dental bridge is designed to be smooth and personalized to your needs. From your first consultation to the final placement, our team focuses on precision and comfort to help you achieve a complete, healthy smile.
Your journey begins with a comprehensive exam to assess your oral health and determine the best solution for replacing missing teeth. Dr. Hiruma may recommend a dental bridge based on your specific needs, explaining the process and answering any questions to ensure you feel informed and confident moving forward.
If a traditional bridge is recommended, the teeth on either side of the gap will be prepared to support the restoration. These abutment teeth are reshaped, and detailed impressions are taken to create a custom-fit bridge that blends naturally with your smile. This ensures both comfort and functionality.
To protect your prepared teeth, a temporary bridge will be placed while your permanent one is crafted. This allows you to maintain function and comfort throughout the process.
When your permanent bridge is ready, it will be carefully placed and adjusted to ensure a perfect fit. The bridge is then securely bonded, restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Proper care is essential to the longevity of your dental bridge. Our team provides detailed instructions on cleaning and maintaining your bridge, and routine visits to Enso Dental Arts allow us to monitor your oral health and make adjustments as needed.
Dental bridges are an excellent option for individuals who are missing one or more teeth and want to restore their smile’s function and appearance. They are often recommended for patients who have healthy teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap, as these act as anchors for the bridge. Good candidates are typically in overall good oral health, with no untreated gum disease or significant tooth decay, ensuring a stable foundation for the bridge.
Patients who are looking for a fixed, long-term solution to improve their ability to eat and speak comfortably often find that dental bridges meet their needs. According to the University of Rochester Medical Center, most dental bridges last more than 10 years with the correct care.
Additionally, bridges are ideal for maintaining the alignment of remaining teeth, as gaps left by missing teeth can lead to shifting or bite issues over time. With proper care and routine dental checkups, a bridge can be a durable and effective way to achieve a complete, healthy smile.
Missing teeth can impact your quality of life in so many ways, but a dental bridge may be the perfect solution to restore your smile’s function, health, and appearance. At Enso Dental Arts, we take a personalized approach to every patient’s care. From your first consultation to the final placement, we’ll work with you to design a bridge that fits naturally and helps protect your oral health for years to come.
