Dental Bridges for Peachtree City, GA Residents

If one or more of your teeth are missing, a dental bridge may be a viable option. A dental bridge consists of prosthetic teeth which serve to bridge any gaps in your smile. When installed, a dental bridge provides a permanent anchor to adjacent and nearby teeth using either a dental implant or dental crown. Like dental crowns, dental bridges are manufactured from durable tooth-like material and produce healthy, natural-looking results.

At Vassey Dental Partners in Peachtree City, GA, we are your source for exceptional quality dental bridges to achieve your desired appearance and oral health.

Dental Bridges for a Great Smile

The process of having a dental bridge installed in your mouth can take anywhere from 2 to 3 visits. During the initial visit, we will perform a complete dental examination to evaluate your teeth, gums, mouth, jaw muscles, and joints.

Afterwards, we will create a treatment plan and design your dental bridge restoration. While your permanent restoration is being made, we may fit you with a temporary dental bridge. At your final visit, we will secure your permanent dental bridge in place. During that time, we will also explain any special care techniques for your dental bridge moving forward.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

Other than restoring a natural look to your smile, dental bridges also restore normal facial structure and prevent bone loss in the jaw around the location of the missing tooth or teeth. They also help recover the ability to enunciate and speak normally. Dental bridges restore the ability to chew food normally and efficiently as well.

FAQ

What are dental bridges?

Dental bridges can be traditional or implant supported. Traditional dental bridges are made from a crown (a false tooth top) which is supported by a wire that connects to the two surrounding teeth. An implant-supported bridge uses an implanted post to attach the tooth or teeth in place.

How long does it take to get a dental bridge?

The time it takes to get a dental bridge depends on the type of bridge selected and if the tooth or a part of the tooth has to be extracted. Traditional bridges take a few weeks if no extraction is required, while implant-supported bridges will take months until the final bridge can be installed.

How many different types of dental bridges are there?

There are four different categories or types of dental bridges. These include traditional and implant-supported, which are the most common, as well as a cantilever and Maryland type. Cantilever types required only one abutment tooth. The Maryland bridge is bonded to the back part of the two abutment teeth.

When would I need an implant-supported bridge?

Implant-supported bridges help to prevent gum and bone loss while also providing a permanent option and better support for the bridge when more than one tooth is being replaced.

What can I expect during the dental implant bridge process?

This is a multi-step process that is customized for each patient. All patients will need to have a mold to create the porcelain crowns, the posts implanted in the jaw, and time for the bone to fuse with the implants. The patient will then have the temporary crowns removed and the permanent bridge installed.

What are the benefits of an implant-supported bridge?

The implant-supported bridge offers a permanent solution for a missing tooth, prevents damage to surrounding teeth, helps reduce bone loss, and provides a stable, solid surface for chewing.

Does an implant-supported bridge require special care?

No, once installed in the mouth, the implant-supported dental bridge is maintained the same way as other teeth. Brushing and flossing on a daily basis is important to avoid staining, which is similar to any other dental work.
