If you are missing one or more teeth, dental bridges may be the solution to restore your smile and your confidence. At Wetaskiwin Smiles, dental bridges are a restorative dental solution used to replace missing teeth and restore the function and appearance of your smile.
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge consists of lifelike artificial teeth that bridge the gap left by one or more missing teeth. Bridges at our clinic are anchored to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants to provide stability and prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of place.
How Do Dental Bridges Work?
Dental bridges help restore your natural, confident smile, improve your ability to chew and speak, and maintain proper bite alignment. Bridges offer a durable, long-lasting solution and support overall oral health by preventing dental drift and boosting self-esteem.
Our restorative dentistry services, including crowns and bridges, are designed to be aesthetically pleasing and help patients regain confidence.
Types of Dental Bridges We Offer
Fixed bridges are a common option, involving the attachment of a replacement tooth to adjacent teeth using crowns. Fixed bridges can offer a natural look and restore chewing function, but the process usually requires altering the adjacent healthy teeth to accommodate the crowns. Regular dental check-ups are necessary to maintain the integrity and longevity of your bridge.
Temporary bridges may be used as a quick and effective solution, particularly for teenagers or in cases where a permanent bridge cannot be placed immediately. Temporary bridges are typically made from materials like acrylic or composite resin, making them less durable but easy to place and remove. Temporary bridges allow you to maintain your smile and chewing ability while waiting for a permanent solution.
The Role of Crowns and Adhesives in Dental Bridges
Dental crowns play a key role in supporting bridges by strengthening anchor teeth and restoring proper bite alignment. Dental adhesives create a strong bond between teeth and crowns, which helps secure your bridge and ensures it functions well. The process of securing a bridge involves advanced chemical interactions that allow a strong and lasting connection between the dental materials and your natural tooth structure. By ensuring a stable bond, dental adhesives reduce the risk of decay and failure around the bridge area, safeguarding your oral health.
