The Benefits Of Dental Bridges
Restored Functionality
Dental bridges restore your ability to chew and speak properly, enhancing your quality of life. With a stable and secure fit, they mimic the function of natural teeth, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without discomfort.
Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal
A well-crafted dental bridge can dramatically improve your smile, boosting your confidence and self-esteem. By filling in the gaps caused by missing teeth, dental bridges provide a natural and seamless appearance.
Prevention of Dental Issues
By preventing neighboring teeth from shifting, dental bridges help maintain the alignment of your teeth. This prevents potential bite problems and jaw pain, contributing to better overall oral health.
The Dental Bridge Treatment Process
Initial Consultation
The first step in getting a dental bridge at Sandlin Dental is an initial consultation with Dr. Jacob Sandlin. During this visit, Dr. Sandlin will conduct a thorough examination of your oral health, including X-rays and impressions of your teeth. This allows him to assess the condition of your teeth and determine the best type of bridge for your needs. You'll also have the opportunity to discuss any concerns or questions you may have about the procedure.
Preparation of Abutment Teeth
Once the treatment plan is established, the next step involves preparing the abutment teeth, which are the teeth adjacent to the gap. Dr. Sandlin will carefully reshape these teeth to accommodate the dental bridge. This involves removing a small portion of the enamel to create space for the crowns that will hold the bridge in place. Impressions of your teeth are then taken to create a custom-fit bridge that matches your natural teeth.
Placement of the Dental Bridge
After the bridge is fabricated, you will return to Sandlin Dental for the placement procedure. Dr. Sandlin will carefully fit the bridge over the prepared abutment teeth, ensuring a precise and comfortable fit. Adjustments may be made to ensure proper alignment and bite. Once satisfied with the fit, Dr. Sandlin will permanently cement the bridge in place, restoring your smile and functionality. Regular follow-up appointments will help ensure the longevity and success of your dental bridge.
