At Delgado Dental Group, we offer the leading solutions for replacing missing teeth. Whether you're missing a single tooth or multiple ones, we provide the leading solutions to rebuild your smile with the most functional, natural-looking, and pleasing results.
A dental bridge is a prosthetic restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth and effectively reestablish the function and appearance of your smile. It literally "bridges" the gap created by missing teeth, with an artificial tooth or multiple teeth spanning the gap to replace the missing ones. These teeth garner support from crowns placed on the adjacent natural teeth or from strategically placed dental implants. In addition to rebuilding a more complete set of teeth, dental bridges provide a stable and reliable solution for restoring chewing ability, speaking clearly, and maintaining facial structure.
Other than wisdom teeth, it's wise to replace missing teeth. In most cases, failing to do so can lead to several oral health issues in the short and long term. For starters, a gap in your smile can cause the surrounding teeth to gradually shift into the space, resulting in misalignment and bite problems. These shifts can also increase the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and even TMJ disorders. Plus, missing teeth can cause bone loss and lead to a more sunken, haggard appearance. For all these reasons, by choosing to replace missing teeth with a dental bridge, you can prevent these complications and maintain a healthy, balanced smile.
When discussing the options for replacing missing teeth, our office will review the different types of bridges available, the costs, and all the considerations in Care.
At the office of Delgado Dental Group, we offer the leading treatment methods and use the latest generation of dental materials to achieve outstanding treatment outcomes. Modern dental materials have revolutionized the quality and appearance of dental bridges, offering lifelike and long-lasting results. High-quality materials like porcelain, ceramic, and zirconia can be custom-shaded to match the color of your natural teeth, ensuring that your dental bridge blends seamlessly with your smile. As these materials mimic the translucency and texture of natural teeth, they provide results indistinguishable from an authentically beautiful smile. Additionally, they are highly durable, allowing for years of comfortable use with proper care.
At Delgado Dental Group, we offer personalized care designed to meet the unique requirements of every smile. Contact us today to learn how a dental bridge can restore your smile and improve your quality of life.
Your new bridge is customized to the exact specifications of your smile. Before cementing to the underlying teeth or affixing it to the supporting implants, the shade, occlusion, and all aspects of its fit get carefully checked. In addition to being designed to blend seamlessly with your smile, it's also made to suit your bite and withstand all manner of oral function. We take great care to make sure your new restoration looks great, fits well, and that your bite feels comfortable.
Replacing missing teeth with a dental bridge is a worthwhile investment in the look, health, and function of your smile. While many dental insurances offer coverage for a dental bridge, and some toward the cost of implants, the benefits and amounts can vary significantly from plan to plan. At the office of Delgado Dental Group, we understand the financial considerations involved in care and do all we can to help patients begin treatment without any additional stress or delay. In addition to doing our best to optimize your dental benefits, we also offer several payment and financing options. Feel free to contact our office if you have any questions on the cost of care, dental insurances, financing plans, or acceptable forms of payment.
Now that your new permanent crown or bridge is in place, it's essential to maintain good oral hygiene. With proper care, your new restorations will last for years to come. Make sure to brush and floss as instructed. We'll show you how to floss under your dental bridge to keep your new smile clean and bright. Remember to make appointments for your routine checkups and professional cleanings.
The standard answer is that with routine dental visits and good home care, a bridge can last ten to fifteen years, and in many cases, much longer.
At the office of Delgado Dental Group, we fabricate your bridge from the highest quality dental materials to achieve the most cosmetically pleasing and lifelike results of care. It's also customized to the exact specifications of your smile and designed for optimal aesthetics, strength, and stability. Once fabricated and cemented into place, you'll feel confident sharing your smile, speaking, and eating your favorite foods.
As your trusted partner in care, we analyze every aspect of your smile to develop a treatment plan that provides aesthetically pleasing, healthy, and long-lasting results of care.
