What is a Dental Bridge?

As the name implies, a dental bridge literally bridges the gap between teeth.

A bridge is custom-made using high-quality materials (porcelain, ceramic, zirconia, metal alloys, etc.) that look and feel like your real teeth. The bridge is anchored to teeth or an artificial tooth is placed to act as the anchor.

A bridge is an ideal smile restoration solution if you have one or more missing teeth. It’s also rather affordable because of how it replaces several teeth at once, making it one of the most popular tooth replacementoptonsforpatients in Greenville and Simpsonville.

Benefits of a Dental Bridge

A dental bridge does so much more than just replace a missing tooth or few. It contributes to improving your whole health, confidence, and appearance.

The Dental Bridge Procedure

A new smile awaits you in two to three visits.

Consultation, Preparation, Impressions, and Temporary Bridges

A consultation is the first step in getting a dental bridge in Greenville or Simpsonville. Your dentist will examine your teeth, gums, and jaw visually and with an x-ray or digital scan, discuss treatment options, and answer any of your questions.

If everything looks good, your dentist and team will begin preparing your mouth for the bridge. This may include reshaping to provide appropriate space. An impression or 3D scan is then done to get a perfect snapshot of the gap so a fully custom bridge can be made.

The process is longer if you require a dental implant as an anchor, as it needs to heal before the bridge is placed. A temporary bridge is created and placed while your permanent one is developed.

Permanent Bridge and Follow-Up

Your next visit is when you receive your permanent dental bridge. Your dentist will ensure it meets exact specifications, fits perfectly, and matches the natural teeth around it. The bridge is then fixed securely in place with a strong bonding agent.

A follow-up visit ensures the bridge feels comfortable and that you're adapting well to it.
