Dental Bridges

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are a proven solution for those looking to enhance their oral health, confidence, and overall well-being. Whether you're looking to fill a gap left by a lost tooth, preparing for a life-changing event, or simply wanting to live better, younger, and more vibrant lives, dental bridges may be the answer.

Tooth-Supported Bridges

Tooth-supported bridges are a common and affordable solution for missing teeth. They use the existing teeth on either side of the gap as support for the bridge.

Pros:

  • Non-surgical option
  • Faster treatment process
  • Affordable

Cons:

  • Can put strain on supporting teeth
  • May require more maintenance over time

Implant-Supported Bridges

Implant-supported bridges are a more permanent and sturdy solution. Instead of relying on existing teeth for support, these bridges are anchored by dental implants.

Pros:

  • More stable and secure
  • Can last a lifetime with proper care
  • Protects jawbone health

Cons:

  • Requires surgery
  • Longer treatment process
  • More costly upfront

Digital Scanning: A Game-Changer for Dental Bridges

The key to a successful dental bridge is a proper fit. That's why we utilize digital scanning technology in our practice. This technology allows for precise measurements, ensuring that your dental bridge fits perfectly and functions seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Digital scanning offers a huge advantage over traditional impression methods. It's far more accurate, less invasive, and provides instant, 3D digital images of your entire mouth. This ensures a more comfortable experience for our patients, and ultimately, a better fitting and functioning dental bridge.

Whether you choose a tooth-supported or implant-supported bridge, our commitment is to partner with you on your journey to oral health, providing a convenient, one-stop solution for your dental needs.
