Our experienced dentists and team are dedicated to providing high-quality dental bridges in Harleysville, Pennsylvania, that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth, known as pontics, that are anchored by dental crowns on adjacent teeth or dental implants. These pontics fill the gap left by missing teeth, restoring your smile and improving oral health.
Benefits of Dental Bridges:
- Restored Functionality: Bridges enable you to eat and speak properly, improving overall mouth function.
- Aesthetic Improvement: They enhance the appearance of your smile by filling gaps with natural-looking teeth.
- Preventing Teeth Movement: By filling the gap, bridges prevent neighboring teeth from shifting out of place, which can lead to bite problems and further dental issues.
- Maintaining Facial Structure: Bridges help preserve the natural shape of your face, preventing the sunken appearance that can occur with missing teeth.
The Procedure:
- Initial Consultation: Dr. Priyang Chaudhari or Dr. Sumit Moradia will evaluate your oral health and discuss the best bridge options for your specific needs.
- Tooth Preparation: The teeth adjacent to the gap are prepared by reshaping them to fit the crowns that will hold the bridge in place.
- Impressions and Temporary Bridge: Impressions of your teeth are taken to create a custom bridge. A temporary bridge is placed to protect your teeth while the permanent bridge is being made.
- Bridge Placement: Once the custom bridge is ready, it is permanently cemented onto the prepared teeth or implants, restoring the appearance and function of your smile.
