Why Do You Need to Replace Missing Teeth?

When you lose one or several of your natural teeth, you won’t be able to chew or speak like before, and your smile will be affected. In addition, you may develop other oral concerns such as:

Drifting of the natural teeth from their position
Jawbone deterioration
Excessive pressure applied on the teeth adjoining the gap

What Are the Advantages of Bridges?

Bridges are one of the quickest and easiest ways to replace a set of missing teeth. Their main advantages include:

Bridges can be placed in just two visits at Tilden Dental Group.
Placing bridges does not require any surgery.
Bridges can be customized to match the exact aesthetics of your natural teeth.
They are made from highly durable and strong materials.
Bridges restore both oral functionality and aesthetics.
They are a long-lasting solution that does not require much maintenance or frequent repairs.

What Is the Procedure for Placing Bridges?

During the initial consultation, Dr. Tilden will use X-rays to determine the spacing available for the bridge. He will then numb the area surrounding the anchoring teeth and prepare them for the crowns by removing some of the enamel.

While the molds are sent to the laboratory that manufactures the bridge, Dr. Tilden can fit you with a temporary bridge.

During the second and final visit, Dr. Tilden will replace the temporary solution with the final one and put the prosthetic teeth in place, making any required adjustments to ensure the bridge feels comfortable and natural.
