A dental bridge serves as an excellent solution for filling the gap left by missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth securely anchored into position by the adjacent natural teeth, which provides the necessary support, giving rise to its name. This restoration not only replaces the missing tooth functionally but also enhances your smile aesthetically. The creation of a dental bridge is a meticulous process that requires both artistry and precision. Various materials are available for bridge construction, including gold alloys, porcelain fused to metal, or all-ceramic options designed to blend seamlessly with your natural tooth shade. The selection of the appropriate material is based on factors such as durability, wear resistance, and aesthetic appeal. The journey to obtaining a dental bridge starts with a consultation, during which our skilled dentist will evaluate your oral health and recommend the most appropriate bridge option for your needs. For traditional bridges, we reshape the neighboring teeth to accommodate the crowns. Custom impressions will be taken to create a personalized bridge. While awaiting your permanent bridge, a temporary one will be fitted to safeguard your exposed teeth and gums. When your custom bridge is ready, it will be expertly adjusted for a perfect fit and then permanently secured, either with cement or implants. Our dentist will ensure it is comfortable and fully functional, making adjustments as needed for the best results.
"I cannot recommend Dr. Rafaela enough.. I had extreme anxiety about going to the dentist and had such bad experiences that I avoided going for 7 years. I have really sensitive teeth which makes cleanings usually very painful for me but she was so gentle while also being very thorough. When I went back to her for fillings it was the same relaxing and enjoyable experience. I am so happy that I found her she really changed the way I feel about dental visits and now I will bring my kids for their cleanings here as well."
