At Hastings Family Dental, we understand the importance of a complete smile — not just for aesthetic reasons but for overall oral health and function. Dental bridges are a key solution we offer for replacing missing teeth, bridging the gap and restoring your smile to its full glory. Crafted from high-quality materials that mimic the appearance and strength of natural teeth, dental bridges are designed to seamlessly integrate with your existing dentition.
The dental bridge process involves a few key steps:
- Initial Consultation: We assess your oral health and discuss the best type of bridge for your specific needs.
- Preparation: Adjacent teeth are prepared to serve as anchors (abutments) for the bridge. This may involve reshaping these teeth to ensure a proper fit.
- Impression and Fabrication: Impressions of your teeth are taken to create a custom bridge that fits perfectly in the gap. While your permanent bridge is being made, a temporary bridge may be placed.
- Fitting and Adjustment: Once your dental bridge is ready, our dentists will carefully fit and adjust it to ensure comfort and proper bite alignment.
- Final Cementing: The bridge is cemented into place, fully restoring the appearance and functionality of your missing teeth.
Benefits of choosing a dental bridge include:
- Restored smile and improved appearance
- Enhanced ability to chew and speak properly
- Prevention of remaining teeth from drifting out of position
- Maintenance of facial shape and prevention of premature aging
- Durable and long-lasting solution for missing teeth
