Traditional Bridges

A traditional dental bridge is like a small team working together to fill the gap left by a missing tooth. It consists of an artificial tooth (called a pontic) that fills the empty space and is supported by the neighboring natural teeth on either side, which act as strong anchors. These "anchor teeth" are covered with protective crowns to hold the bridge securely in place. Think of it as a seamless connection, restoring your smile and bite while blending in naturally with the rest of your teeth!

First, we take a close look at your "anchor teeth" (the ones that will support the bridge) to make sure they’re strong and healthy. Think of it as checking the foundation before building a house—everything needs to be solid for long-term success.

Once your teeth pass the health check, we carefully reshape them into a cone-like shape. Why? So the bridge can snugly fit over them, like a custom-made puzzle piece!

Next, we take detailed measurements of your teeth. These days, we use high-tech digital scans to get everything just right. These scans are sent to the lab, where the magic happens—they start creating your custom bridge.

While your permanent bridge is being crafted, we fit you with temporary crowns to cover and protect the prepared teeth. This keeps you comfortable and prevents any sensitivity until your shiny new bridge is ready.

Finally, your beautifully crafted bridge arrives from the lab. We fit it in place, check that it’s perfect, and securely cement it onto your anchor teeth. Voilà! Your smile is complete again, and you’re ready to enjoy life with confidence.t you.
