Dental Bridges
Dental Bridges
Missing teeth can affect your appearance, confidence, and ability to chew properly. At Pelican Dental, we offer high-quality dental bridges, including implant-supported options, to restore the function and beauty of your smile. Whether you are missing one tooth or multiple teeth, our dental bridges are designed to provide a durable and natural-looking solution.
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth. It is typically made up of one or more artificial teeth anchored to neighboring teeth or dental implants. Bridges not only restore your ability to chew and speak but also prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of place.
Types of Dental Bridges We Offer
Traditional Dental Bridges
Implant-Supported Bridges
- Anchored to dental implants rather than natural teeth.
- Ideal for patients missing multiple teeth or who want to avoid altering healthy teeth.
- Provides superior stability and helps preserve jawbone health.
Direct Resin Veneers:
Direct resin veneers, also known as “composite veneers” or “prepless veneers” are sculpted directly onto your teeth in one visit. While they are not as strong or long lasting as porcelain veneers, they offer a cost-effective alternative for enhancing your smile. Resin veneers are:
- Color-matched
- Minimally invasive
- Easily repaired and adjusted as needed
Why Choose Implant-Supported Bridges?
Implants act as artificial tooth roots, securely holding the bridge in place. This offers several advantages over traditional methods:
- Enhanced Stability: No slipping or movement while eating or speaking.
- Preserves Natural Teeth: No need to reshape neighboring teeth for crowns.
- Prevents Bone Loss: Implants help maintain the jawbone structure after tooth loss.
- Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, implant-supported bridges can last for many years.
- Restores Function: Chew and speak with confidence again.
- Improves Appearance: Fills gaps in your smile for a natural look.
- Prevents Shifting: Keeps surrounding teeth from moving into empty spaces.
- Maintains Facial Shape: Supports cheeks and lips to prevent a sunken appearance often caused by missing teeth.
The Bridge Process
- Consultation and Planning: We evaluate your oral health and discuss which bridge option is best for you.
- Preparation: For traditional bridges, surrounding teeth are reshaped to support crowns; for implant-supported bridges, implants are placed to anchor the restoration.
- Impressions: We take precise digital impressions to create your custom bridge.
- Placement: Once ready, your bridge is securely bonded or attached to the implants for a seamless fit and natural look.
