Thankfully, we have a way to replace your consecutively missing teeth, restoring your smile back to its full health and beauty. These restorations are called dental bridges in East Longmeadow.

What is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a dental prosthetic that we custom make to literally “bridge” the space in your smile. It can restore from 1 to 3 missing teeth, and you can be confident in the lasting, functional, and beautiful results that it provides. A dental bridge is supported by crowns on either side of the gap in your smile. And, it’s permanently fixed so you won’t have to worry about a denture sliding or shifting around while speaking or eating.

Candidates for Dental Bridges

If it sounds like you could benefit from a dental bridge, you may be wondering if this treatment is right for you. The best way to know is to come into our office for a consultation. One of our highly trained dentists will carefully examine your mouth, check the condition of your oral health, and the area of your missing teeth before recommending a personalized treatment plan. However, candidates for dental bridges will usually have:

  • 1 to 3 consecutively missing teeth

Dental bridges can help with other problems such as a broken tooth in East Longmeadow, but this will depend on a case by case basis. Call our office if it sounds like a dental bridge is right for you.

The Dental Bridge Process

	<p>
		Once we have decided that a dental bridge is right for you, we’ll schedule your treatment. First, a small portion of enamel will need to be removed from the 2 teeth surrounding the gap to accommodate the crowns. These dental crowns play an important role as they support the dental bridge. Next, we will bond your dental bridge to your smile, seamlessly replacing your missing teeth while restoring your natural appearance and function.</p>

		The Benefits of Dental Bridges</h2>

We offer dental bridges because of their many unique benefits, including:

  • Teeth preservation: Because your teeth rely on each other for support, lost teeth can cause problems like shifting and misalignment. A dental bridge can successfully restore your smile to prevent this from occurring.
  • Appearance: We can custom make your dental bridge to match the shade, shape, and size of your natural teeth for a beautiful appearance and seamless replacement.
  • Function: Eat your favorite foods, speak, and smile with total confidence—a dental bridge functions just like your natural teeth.
  • Longevity: With proper care, your dental bridge can last for years to come, making this treatment well worth investing in.
