Dental Bridges

Dental bridges serve as an effective and reliable dental solution for replacing missing teeth, restoring your smile’s functionality and appearance. At Royce Dental, we offer professional dental bridge services to help you regain your confidence and oral health.

What Are Dental Bridges?:

Dental bridges consist of one or more artificial teeth, known as pontics, anchored by crowns on either side of the gap. They are used to bridge the space left by missing teeth, preventing neighboring teeth from shifting out of place and improving the ability to chew and speak.

Reasons for Dental Bridges:

1. Replacement of Missing Teeth: Dental bridges are a non-invasive way to replace one or more missing teeth, improving your overall dental health.

2. Improved Aesthetics: Bridges restore the aesthetics of your smile by filling in gaps and enhancing your facial appearance.

3. Enhanced Functionality: Bridges provide the ability to bite and chew properly, making it easier to enjoy a varied diet.

Types of Dental Bridges:

• Traditional Bridges: These involve crowns on adjacent natural teeth, securing the pontics in place.

• Cantilever Bridges: Suitable when there’s only one adjacent tooth available for support.

• Maryland Bonded Bridges: Consist of a metal or porcelain framework that’s bonded to the back of adjacent teeth.

The Bridge Placement Process:

1. Consultation: Your dentist assesses your dental health and discusses your goals for the treatment.

2. Preparation: The adjacent teeth are reshaped and prepared to receive crowns.

3. Impressions: Impressions are taken, and a custom bridge is crafted in a dental lab.

4. Bridge Attachment: Once ready, the bridge is securely bonded in place.

Aftercare:

• Good oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing and flossing, help maintain the longevity of your dental bridge.

Cost: The cost of dental bridges varies based on the type of bridge and materials used.
