Bridges

Bridges are used to fill a gap between teeth with a natural looking tooth. Essentially a bridge is formed of two anchors, which are crowns on your existing teeth, and a middle tooth that is fused to the two anchor teeth to fill the gap. The result is a beautiful looking smile with no more gaps. The anchor teeth are prepared by shaving them down in preparation to receive the bridge. An impression is taken of the mouth and sent to a lab where the professionally crafted bridge will be made. A temporary bridge is then made to keep the teeth from moving as well as provide you with as much comfort and ability to chew and continue with normal day to day activities as possible. Another visit is required to remove the temporary bridge and seat the permanent one. A permanent cement will fix the bridge in place and allow you to enjoy a new smile!
