Missing teeth can significantly impact your appearance, confidence, and even your ability to speak or chew.

At Longwood House Dental Care, we specialize in custom-made dental bridges that restore both the function and aesthetics of your smile. Our expert team uses advanced materials to create bridges that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, ensuring a comfortable fit and a beautiful result.

What Are Dental Bridges?

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. The bridge consists of a replacement tooth (pontic) held in place by dental crowns or implants on the adjacent teeth (abutments). This helps restore the gap created by missing teeth and can improve both the function of your mouth and the appearance of your smile.

Dental bridges are designed to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, providing a permanent, secure solution for filling the gaps left by missing teeth.

Why Do You Need a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge can offer several important benefits, particularly if you have missing teeth:

  • To Replace Missing Teeth: A bridge restores the gap left by missing teeth, allowing you to chew and speak normally.
  • To Maintain Facial Structure: Missing teeth can cause facial sagging and changes in appearance. A bridge helps maintain the natural shape of your face.
  • To Prevent Tooth Movement: The gap created by missing teeth can cause the adjacent teeth to shift, leading to further dental problems. A bridge prevents this by maintaining the alignment of your remaining teeth.
  • To Restore Your Smile: A dental bridge provides a natural-looking, aesthetically pleasing solution for filling gaps and enhancing the appearance of your smile.

The Process of Getting a Dental Bridge

Here’s what you can expect when getting a dental bridge at Longwood House Dental Care:

01.

Consultation and Evaluation

During your first visit, our dentist will assess the condition of your teeth and determine if a dental bridge is the right solution. We may take X-rays to examine the health of your remaining teeth and gums.

02.

Preparation of Adjacent Teeth

The teeth on either side of the gap (abutments) will be reshaped to allow space for the crowns that will support the bridge.


03.

Impression and Customization

We take detailed impressions of your teeth, which are sent to a dental laboratory where your custom bridge will be created.


04.

Temporary Bridge

A temporary bridge will be placed to protect the abutment teeth while your permanent bridge is being made.

05.

Permanent Bridge Placement

Once your custom bridge is ready, we’ll place it, check for a secure fit, and make any adjustments before cementing it into place.

Dental Bridge Aftercare

To ensure the longevity and functionality of your dental bridge, follow these simple aftercare guidelines:

  • Brush and Floss Regularly: Clean your teeth and bridge carefully. Use special flossing tools, such as a floss threader, to clean underneath the bridge.
  • Avoid Hard or Sticky Foods: To protect your bridge, avoid chewing on hard or sticky foods that could damage it.
  • Routine Dental Check-ups: Visit our office regularly to ensure that your bridge remains in good condition and properly aligned.
