Bridges

Are you missing single or multiple teeth? A dental bridge from White Mountain Smiles may be your option of choice.

Did you know you can close annoying unsightly gaps in just two short visits? Permanent, beautiful, and durable…dental bridges can often last a lifetime!

A long-lasting solution to replacing single or multiple lost teeth, dental bridges at White Mountain Smiles are an excellent restorative dental option. Dental bridges are false teeth fused with two porcelain crowns that are placed on each side of the empty space. Unlike traditional dentures, bridges are permanent and cannot be removed.

The Dental Bridge Procedure

• First, you are given a local anesthetic to numb the area being treated. The teeth on either side of the missing space are then decreased in mass to prepare for crown fitting.
• An impression of your teeth is taken so that your dental bridge can be accurately constructed to fit your existing teeth perfectly.
• You are fitted with a temporary bridge to protect your gums and teeth while the permanent one is being crafted.
• At your next appointment, the temporary bridge is removed and your permanent bridge is seated in place. Once it is correctly fitted, it is permanently cemented in place.

Advantages of a Bridge

• Offers a natural, healthy appearance
• Can be completed in only two office visits
• Is more permanent and much more secure than traditional dentures, with no sliding or moving
• Helps restore natural speaking and chewing ability and strength
• Prevents remaining teeth from drifting out of position
• Colored to perfectly match the shade of your other teeth
