Missing teeth can affect more than just your smile—they can impact your ability to chew, speak, and maintain proper dental alignment. At Copper Mountain Dental, we offer dental bridges to fill the gaps left by missing teeth and restore both function and aesthetics to your smile.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a custom-made restoration designed to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of a prosthetic tooth (or teeth) held in place by dental crowns placed on the natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap. A bridge is a fixed restoration, meaning it is securely cemented and does not need to be removed.
Benefits of a Dental Bridge
A dental bridge can:
- Restore your ability to chew and speak comfortably
- Prevent neighboring teeth from shifting into the empty space
- Even out your bite and reduce strain on surrounding teeth
- Maintain the natural shape of your face
- Improve the appearance of your smile
Advanced Same-Day Bridge Technology
Traditionally, receiving a dental bridge requires multiple appointments. However, Copper Mountain Dental uses CEREC technology to streamline this process. With CEREC, we can design, create, and place your custom dental bridge in a single visit. Here’s what to expect:
- Tooth Preparation: Dr. Addyson England will prepare the teeth on either side of the gap to support the bridge.
- Digital Scan: We’ll use digital imaging to create a precise 3D model of your teeth.
- Same-Day Design & Fabrication: Using the 3D model, your custom bridge and crowns will be designed and fabricated in our office.
- Bridge Placement: Once your bridge is ready, it will be securely placed, restoring your smile in just one appointment.
