Dental Bridges

Dental bridges, also known as bridge dental work, are a popular and effective solution for replacing missing teeth. They are designed to bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth, restoring both the appearance and functionality of your smile. There are different types of bridge which may be suitable for your case.

A bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth, known as pontics, which are anchored in place by dental crowns attached to the adjacent natural teeth.

If you're looking for a solution to restore your smile and improve your oral health, you're in the right place.

At Auckland Family Dental, we specialize in top-tier cosmetic dental services, including dental bridge procedures, to help you regain your confidence and enjoy a beautiful, functional smile.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

"A dental bridge is important as it replaces missing teeth, restoring proper bite function, preventing shifting of adjacent teeth, and improving overall oral health and aesthetics."

The Dental Bridge Procedure

Initial Consultation

During your first visit to Auckland Family Dental, our experienced dentist will conduct a thorough examination of your oral health. We will assess the condition of your remaining teeth, gums, and jawbone to determine if you are a suitable candidate for a dental bridge or bridge dental work.

Treatment Planning

Once we establish that a dental bridge is the right solution for you, our team will create a personalized treatment plan. This plan will outline the number of appointments required and the specific steps involved in the procedure.

Tooth Preparation

In preparation for the bridge placement, the adjacent teeth, known as abutment teeth, will need to be reduced and prepared for the crowns. This involves reshaping the abutment teeth to accommodate the dental crowns that will hold the pontic in place.

Impression and Temporary Bridge

A precise impression of your teeth will be taken to ensure a custom-fit bridge. While your permanent bridge is being fabricated in a dental laboratory, a temporary bridge will be placed to protect the exposed teeth and gums.

Bridge Placement

Once your permanent bridge is ready, you'll return to our office for its placement. Our dentist will ensure the bridge fits perfectly and make any necessary adjustments. Once the fit is confirmed, the bridge will be cemented securely into place.
