The placement of a dental bridge begins by shaping the teeth on both sides of the gap to ensure they are ready to support the bridge. An impression of the prepared teeth is then taken and sent to a dental technician who will craft the bridge. While the permanent bridge is being made, a temporary bridge is placed to maintain comfort and functionality.

The final dental bridge consists of one or more replacement teeth, securely held between two crowns placed on the prepared teeth. These crowns are bonded into place, creating a seamless structure that spans the gap left by missing teeth. After a brief examination to ensure proper fit and comfort, patients are left with a natural-looking, fully functional tooth replacement.

At Adult Dentistry of Ballantyne, we specialize in porcelain dental bridges. Porcelain is an ideal material for these restorations because of its strength and durability, allowing it to withstand the everyday functions of natural teeth. Additionally, porcelain can be customized to match the color of your natural teeth, ensuring that the result is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
