We proudly serve patients in Doylestown, as well as nearby communities like New Britain, Chalfont, Buckingham, and Warrington.
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. The bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) held in place by dental crowns placed on the teeth next to the gap.
There are several types of dental bridges available:
- Traditional Bridge – Supported by dental crowns on either side of the gap.
- Cantilever Bridge – Anchored to only one adjacent tooth.
- Maryland Bridge – Uses a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the backs of neighboring teeth.
- Implant-Supported Bridge – Secured with dental implants for maximum stability and durability.
Dental bridges are recommended when a patient has healthy teeth on either side of the missing space or when implants can be used for support.
Our Dental Bridge Process in Doylestown
At our Doylestown office, we use advanced technology and a personalized approach to ensure your dental bridge fits perfectly and functions naturally.
Here’s what to expect:
- Consultation and Evaluation: We begin with a comprehensive exam and imaging, including dental radiographs, to assess your oral health and determine the best treatment option.
- Tooth Preparation: If a traditional bridge is recommended, the supporting teeth are prepared and fitted with dental crowns to serve as anchors.
- Bridge Fabrication and Placement: A custom bridge is crafted to match your bite and tooth color. Once ready, we securely place the bridge and make any needed adjustments for comfort and function.
- Follow-Up and Care: We provide detailed instructions on bridge maintenance and may recommend additional care like preventive hygiene services to keep your smile healthy long-term.
If you are missing multiple teeth or are not a candidate for a traditional bridge, we may discuss alternative options such as dental implants or full & partial dentures.
