Dental bridges can last five to 15 years, and even longer with good oral hygiene.
During your initial consultation at Woburn Dental Associates, our skilled dentists will evaluate your teeth to determine if you're a good candidate for a dental bridge. This involves a thorough examination of your oral health, including the health of your remaining teeth, gums, and jawbone. The dentist will also discuss your treatment options and answer any questions you may have about the process.
Once you're deemed a suitable candidate for a dental bridge, the next step involves preparing the teeth that will support the bridge. These teeth are reshaped to make room for the crowns that will be placed over them. After these teeth are prepared, impressions of your teeth are made. These impressions are used to create a model of your mouth, which is sent to a dental lab to fabricate your custom bridge.
When your custom-made bridge is ready, you'll return to our office for the final step of the process. The bridge is carefully checked for fit and color, and any necessary adjustments are made. Once everything is perfect, the bridge is cemented into place, restoring the appearance and function of your natural teeth.
A dental bridge can significantly enhance the aesthetics of your smile by replacing missing teeth. The replacement teeth used in bridges are designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, providing a seamless, natural-looking restoration.
Missing teeth can make it difficult to chew and speak properly. By replacing these teeth with a dental bridge, you can restore the function of your teeth and enjoy your favorite foods again. Plus, bridges are fixed in place, so they offer a stable, secure solution for missing teeth.
When you lose a tooth, the remaining teeth may start to shift into the empty space, leading to misalignment. A dental bridge fills this gap and prevents the shifting of teeth, helping to maintain your oral health and the alignment of your teeth.
About 15% of the edentulous population has dentures made each year.
