Are you struggling with missing teeth and seeking a reliable, aesthetically pleasing solution? Dental bridges, as the name suggests, bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. They are comprised of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap and a false tooth/teeth in between. These false teeth, known as pontics, can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials. Dental bridges are supported by natural teeth or implants, providing a strong and durable solution for missing teeth.
If you're missing one or more teeth, you might be wondering, “why should I get dental bridges?” The answer lies in the many benefits that this treatment offers. Firstly, dental bridges restore your smile, helping you regain your confidence and feel more comfortable in social situations. Secondly, they restore the ability to chew and speak properly, which can often be compromised with missing teeth. Dental bridges also maintain the shape of your face, distribute the forces in your bite properly, and prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position. Dental bridges are more than just a cosmetic solution; they're a comprehensive approach to oral health.
Dental bridges can last up to 15 years or even longer with good oral hygiene!

When it comes to tooth replacement options, you want something that's going to last. Dental bridges, when cared for properly, can last up to 15 years or even longer. They offer a long-term solution to missing teeth, providing you with a durable and reliable restorative option.
The first step in the dental bridge process is an initial consultation with Dr. Leonett at New Tempo Family Dental. During this consultation, she will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals and expectations, and determine whether a dental bridge is the best treatment option for you.
The next step involves preparing the teeth that will support the bridge. These teeth are reshaped to allow room for the bridge to be placed. After the teeth are prepared, impressions are taken. These impressions serve as a model for a dental lab to make the dental bridge, pontic, and crowns.
Once your custom-made bridge is ready, you'll return to our practice for the final fitting. Dr. Leonett will check the fit and color of the bridge and make any necessary adjustments. Once everything is perfect, the bridge will be cemented into place, completing your smile.
