To help you better understand what to expect when you visit our practice, we will give some general information about the procedure below. We hope you’ll reach out to us with any questions you may have. Schedule a consultation with a member of our team so we can help you understand your options and determine the best course of action for your situation.
Dealing with missing teeth can be a potentially traumatic and overwhelming ordeal. We help our patients restore their beautiful smile – for the better – with our effective dental bridges. This approach uses your existing teeth to literally create a bridge to cross the area where your tooth is missing.
Bridges are typically cemented to your existing teeth or to implants surrounding the empty area. These implants are called abutments which provide an anchor for the bridge to attach to.
A replacement tooth will be attached to the crowns that cover the abutments. Crowns act as a cap or helmet that helps protect and cover the tooth that needs support or replacement.
We offer the best materials for bridges, including porcelain. We will help you decide the best material to use based on the location of the missing tooth (or teeth), its function, esthetic considerations, and cost.
Your new dental bridge will take the same care needed to maintain your natural teeth – the foundation of your bridge, like natural teeth, depends on the health of the surrounding teeth. Continue to brush and floss your teeth at least twice a day and make sure you make your regular check-up visits with Dr. Morgan.
