Patients who lose teeth don’t have to lose hope. At our Montana dentist practice near Belgrade MT, we offer dental bridges as one of our restorative dentistry options. To our patients who are missing teeth and want their smile back: dental bridges may be just what you need.
Bozeman Dentistry is a top choice in the Montana area to effectively place and administer dental crowns. Dental bridges offer top-quality care for your smile in a cost-friendly manner.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge fills the gap in your smile with multiple porcelain crowns. Similar to dental crowns, dental bridges help replace missing or seriously damaged teeth. Instead of individually applying each porcelain crown to your mouth, dental bridges can place multiple crowns in one procedure by attaching numerous replacement teeth to an anchor of crowns.
You can think of it as an option for replacing a missing tooth using crowns.
How Dental Bridges Can Help
Dental bridges are a unique adaptation from dental crowns that can save patients time and money. Bozeman Dentistry is happy to help our patients experience the benefits of dental bridges for themselves.
Find Confidence
Patients who are missing teeth will be able to smile readily again and enjoy themselves in social situations. A dental bridge can restore lost confidence and self-esteem, which is crucial for positive mental health. Improve your well-being by investing in dental bridges.
Find Protection
Missing or severely damaged teeth tend to snowball into other areas of your smile and cause issues. Without timely and proper treatment, damaged teeth can cause more damaged teeth and spur infections and gum disease. Give your teeth the care they need with dental bridges.
Find Functionality
When you have a replacement tooth you will be able to enjoy all the oral activities that you enjoyed before you lost your teeth. You will be able to speak, eat, and smile again. Our dental bridges offer all the functionality of natural teeth and can give you back your brilliant smile.
The Beauty Of Porcelain
At Bozeman Dentistry, our our crowns are crafted from the highest quality porcelain which maintains a:
- Natural Look: They look and feel completely natural in your mouth. They’re built to blend in with the rest of your smile.
- Clear Look: The porcelain perfectly mimics the translucence and color of your other teeth. No one will be able to tell that you are wearing a dental bridge.
- Functional Look: Bridges operate just like your normal teeth. Dental bridges can handle just as much as your regular teeth.
The Dental Bridge Process
Once our dental team determines your eligibility for dental bridges, the process will happen with a few basic steps. The steps for placing dental bridges widely depend on where the bridge needs to be placed and individual circumstances.
- Smile Analysis: A dental bridge is created by cementing a row of crowns together. We will analyze your teeth digitally and physically to create dental bridges that are personalized based on your needs.
- Prep Adjacent Teeth: When you receive a dental bridge, crowns will be placed onto the two teeth in your mouth adjacent to the gap you want filled. This step helps secure the bridge together.
- Create the Bridge: Dr. McCormick will then fill that gap in your mouth by cementing a porcelain crown to the surrounding crowns, creating a “bridge” of crowns that serves as a functional, beautiful tooth replacement.
Dental bridges often require two different treatment visits: one to prep your adjacent teeth and one to place the bridge. This is a significant improvement over having a single visit for each crown.
