A dental bridge is one or two custom artificial teeth between dental crowns. The bridge and crowns are a single prosthetic.
Sometimes, if the supporting teeth are not strong enough, the dentist may use a dental implant to secure your dental bridge to the jawbone.
Dental bridges are a fixed tooth replacement solution, making them popular with many patients.
Benefits include:
- A secure tooth replacement
- Protection against tooth migration
- Easy maintenance
- A beautiful smile
Are You a Candidate for the Dental Bridge in Lodi or Elk Grove?
Our dentist will assess your tooth loss and help you choose the best solution. We’ll discuss costs and what to expect if you decide on a dental bridge.
To prepare for your bridge, the dentist will treat the tooth on either side of your smile gap for crowning, which allows restoration teeth to fill your smile gap.
After bridge placement, we’ll discuss how to best care for this prosthetic. You’ll want to use a threader or water floss to clean beneath the bridge and a cleaning brush to keep it looking beautiful.
