Dental Bridges in Bellevue, TN

How Dental Bridges Work

‍

A dental bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth, called pontics, held in place by dental crowns on the adjacent teeth. Dental bridges can replace a single missing tooth or multiple teeth in a row, providing a stable and natural-looking restoration that improves chewing, speaking, and facial appearance

‍

Types of Dental Bridges

‍

There are several types of dental bridges available, including traditional, cantilever, and implant-supported bridges. Dr. Wilson will work with you to determine the most appropriate type of bridge for your specific needs, taking into consideration factors such as the location of the missing teeth, the condition of your adjacent teeth, and your personal preferences.

The Dental Bridge Procedure

‍

The dental bridge procedure generally requires two appointments. During the first visit, Dr. Wilson will prepare the teeth adjacent to the gap by removing a portion of their enamel to accommodate the dental crowns. He will then take an impression of your teeth to create a custom-made bridge that fits perfectly in your mouth. On your second visit, the dental bridge will be cemented into place, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit that restores the function and appearance of your smile.
