Replacing a missing tooth improves the quality of your oral health and gives you back your smile! At Bridge Smile Dental Group P.A. here in Somerville, NJ, we offer dental bridges as one of our tooth replacement options. Dental bridges have been around for a long time and they are popular with many of our patients.
A dental bridge is a restoration compiled of two dental crowns and one replacement tooth, called a pontic. The pontic is set in between the crowns. The teeth adjacent to the open space are reshaped so that the crowns can be placed on them and the replacement tooth fits snuggly in the open space. Bridges are permanent, may be made completely custom, and they are durable.
To create a custom bridge for each patient, we first reshape the adjacent teeth and then take an impression of the area. The impression is sent to a dental laboratory where the custom bridge is created to look and feel like your normal teeth. During the creation process, you will wear a temporary bridge to protect your teeth.
Replacing a tooth is important for the health of your smile and your jaw. To find out if a dental bridge is the right option for you, set up a consultation with Bridge Smiles Dental Group P.A. in Somerville, NJ by calling our office at 908-725-0400 or by visiting our website, www.bridgesmilesdental.com.
