Dental Bridges Palm Harbor, FL
Missing teeth can affect both the function and appearance of your smile. Fortunately, dental bridges in Palm Harbor, FL offer an effective solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. At Massey Dentistry, we are committed to providing customized dental bridge treatments that seamlessly blend with your natural teeth, improving both aesthetics and functionality.
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that fills the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It typically consists of a false tooth (or teeth) anchored by dental crowns placed on the adjacent healthy teeth or dental implants. Dental bridges are designed to look and feel natural, helping you regain the function and appearance of your smile.
The Benefits of Dental Bridges
Choosing dental bridges as your tooth replacement option offers a range of benefits, including:
- Restored Functionality: Dental bridges allow you to eat, chew, and speak properly again by filling in the gaps left by missing teeth.
- Aesthetic Improvement: The custom-made design of dental bridges ensures a natural look that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth.
- Preventing Shifting Teeth: When a gap is left untreated, the surrounding teeth may shift out of alignment. Dental bridges help maintain proper tooth alignment and prevent further dental issues.
- Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, dental bridges can last many years, offering a durable and reliable solution for missing teeth.
What to Expect During the Dental Bridge Process
The process of getting dental bridges typically requires two visits. During the first appointment, Dr. Taylor or Dr. Ashley Massey will prepare the neighboring teeth by reshaping them to accommodate the crowns that will support the bridge. Impressions are taken to ensure the dental bridge fits perfectly. A temporary bridge is placed while your custom bridge is being made.
During the second visit, your permanent dental bridge is carefully placed and adjusted to ensure a comfortable fit. Once in place, the bridge is securely bonded to the supporting teeth, restoring your smile’s natural appearance and function.
