If you are missing one tooth or multiple teeth in a row, we may recommend a dental bridge to restore your smile. A bridge is a fixed dental restoration, meaning it is non-removable. The dental bridge is anchored in place through the use of two dental crowns, which are custom made to fit your smile and are placed on the teeth or dental implants next to the space left by the missing tooth. These crowns hold the artificial tooth in place to restore your smile, ensuring that your restoration will not easily shift or come loose. It typically requires only two visits to our practice to complete the dental bridge. Dental bridges are designed to last for many years and to restore the function, beauty, and health of your smile.

Benefits of Choosing a Dental Bridge for Your Smile

• Restoring your ability to speak, eat, and chew as normal
• Alleviating excess stress on the bite
• Improving the shape and volume of your face
• Replacing an unwanted removable partial denture
• Preventing the remaining natural teeth from moving out of position
• Enhancing the appearance of your smile

We will help you determine whether a custom dental bridge is the right choice for restoring your smile after tooth loss. For more information, please call or visit us today.

The All-Ceramic Bridge Procedure at Greenwood Dental

At Greenwood Dental in Montebello, the process for receiving an all-ceramic bridge typically involves the following steps:

• Consultation and Examination: Our dentist will conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays, to assess your oral health and determine if a bridge is the right option for you.
• Tooth Preparation: The teeth adjacent to the gap (abutment teeth) will be prepared by reshaping them slightly to accommodate the bridge.
• Impressions: Impressions of your teeth will be taken to create a custom-made bridge that fits perfectly and matches the color of your natural teeth.
• Temporary Bridge: A temporary bridge may be placed while your permanent bridge is being fabricated.
• Bridge Placement: Once the permanent bridge is ready, you will return to our dental office for its placement. The bridge will be cemented onto the abutment teeth, securely filling the gap.

Caring for Your All-Ceramic Bridge

Proper care is essential for maintaining the health and longevity of your all-ceramic bridge.  This includes:

• Regular Brushing and Flossing: Brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss daily, paying special attention to the area around the bridge.
• Regular Dental Checkups: Schedule regular dental checkups and cleanings to ensure your bridge and surrounding teeth remain healthy.
• Avoid Hard Foods: Avoid chewing on hard or sticky foods that could damage the bridge.
• Night Guard (if needed): If you grind your teeth at night, our dentist may recommend a night guard to protect your bridge.
