Dental Bridges Hillsborough, NJ

Are you missing a tooth and want to love your smile again? A dental bridge might be the answer!

Bridges fill the gap created by one or more missing teeth and consist of two or more crowns (abutment teeth). Your dentist will take impressions of your mouth to custom make a bridge for seamless integration, allowing easier chewing and proper bite. The teeth on either side of the missing tooth will be prepared in the same way a crown is fitted and may be supported by either a natural tooth or a dental implant. Your dentist will give you the at-home care knowledge to ensure your bridge is effective and long-lasting.

A porcelain fixed bridge is a non-removable appliance for replacing missing teeth. Should a bridge be necessary, you and your dentist will discuss the options available for your particular case. Often, a “traditional bridge” is the most effective solution. This is known as a porcelain fixed bridge and is made of porcelain fused to metal. As with other porcelain-based dental treatments, they are specially crafted to match the coloration of your own natural teeth. The bridge consists of two crowns cemented over two anchoring teeth known as abutment teeth. These are then attached to artificial teeth, known as pontics, that fill the gap created by one or more missing teeth.

What can this procedure repair?

  • Gaps left by missing teeth
  • Damaged facial shape
  • The drifting placement of remaining teeth
  • Improper chewing
  • Speech problems caused by improper dental structure
  • The need for removable partial dentures
  • The general beauty of your smile

How is the procedure done?

Setting a bridge in place requires two or more dental visits, depending on the specific circumstances of each patient. The dentist will numb the teeth and prepare the two anchoring teeth to receive the crowns that will lock the bridge in place. Once the teeth are prepared, a mold will be taken for the dental laboratory that will fabricate the permanent bridge. The dentist will then cement a temporary bridge in place to be worn for several weeks until your next appointment.

On the second visit, the dentist will carefully check, adjust, and cement the permanent bridge in place. In some cases, the dentist may need to set the permanent bridge with a temporary cementing process to allow your teeth and gum tissue time to adjust. Once this process is complete, the dentist will permanently cement the new bridge in place.

What kind of follow up care should I expect?

Permanent dental bridges require very little special attention to last for a very long time. At the conclusion of the treatment, the dentist will give you specific care instructions, and the continued practice of brushing, flossing, and regular dental cleanings will help to ensure the proper functioning of your new permanent bridge. Keep in mind that dental bridges are very durable, but may eventually need replacement or re-cementing due to normal wear.
