Our dentists and team offer expertly crafted dental bridges in Amherst, New Hampshire, to restore the functionality and aesthetics of smiles that have gaps due to missing teeth. Dental bridges are a time-tested solution that can help maintain the shape of your face and alleviate stress on your bite by replacing lost teeth.
What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic device that is cemented onto existing teeth or implants. The bridge consists of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap — these two or more anchoring teeth are known as abutment teeth — and a false tooth/teeth in between.
Benefits of Dental Bridges:
- Restorative: Bridges help restore your ability to chew and speak properly.
- Cosmetic: They maintain the shape of your face and prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position.
- Durable: Dental bridges are durable and can last many years with proper care.
- Non-Invasive: Bridges can be more conservative than other replacements like dental implants.
The Process:
- Preparation: The abutment teeth are prepared by recontouring these teeth and taking impressions to create a model for the bridge.
- Fabrication: The custom bridge is created to match the color, shape and size of your natural teeth.
- Fitting: Once fabricated, the bridge is fitted, adjusted and cemented into place.
