DENTAL BRIDGES

Missing teeth can have a large impact on your smile and overall confidence. Whether you’ve suffered from an injury or a dental disease, it’s important to replace lost teeth as soon as possible to improve your oral health and functionality. To get your smile back, we’re pleased to offer patients dental bridges as a restorative solution. A dental bridge is a prosthetic device designed to replace one or more missing teeth and bridge the gap in your smile. With caring attention from our dentist, a dental bridge can improve both your oral health and greatly improve your appearance.

What is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge consists of one or more prosthetic teeth which are held in place by dental crowns on either side. These prosthetic teeth are fused together to fill the gap caused by missing teeth and create a bridge between the remaining natural teeth. Dental bridges can be made from a variety of materials, depending on the patient’s needs and budget, including metal, porcelain-fused-to-metal, or all-porcelain.

Ideal candidates for a dental bridge are those who have lost one or more teeth and would like to replace them with a natural-looking and durable option that will last many years. Patients should also ensure their surrounding abutment teeth are strong enough to support receiving dental crowns. If you’re missing one tooth, a dental implant can restore function and appearance.

How We Complete Your Smile with Dental Bridges

During your initial consultation, our professionals will assess your oral health and determine whether you are a good candidate for dental bridges. Our team will then use advanced imaging technology to create models of your teeth in order to ensure a precise fit. We then prepare the surrounding teeth for the bridge and take an impression of your mouth and send it to a lab. Once the bridge is ready, the crowns will be set with the prosthetic bridge filling in the missing space. We will then adjust it for a perfect fit and make any necessary corrections for a comfortable fit. We then permanently secure the bridge in place with long-lasting dental cement.

Dental Bridges vs Dental Implants

Dental bridges and dental Implants are two of the most common options for tooth replacement. A dental bridge uses surrounding teeth to support a prosthetic tooth or teeth and fill a missing gap. Dental implants involve surgically placing a titanium post into the jawbone, onto which an artificial tooth is attached. The benefit of dental implants is that they are integrated directly into the jawbone and can provide superior stability. However, bridges are less invasive options and may be more cost and time-effective for patients. They’re also great options for patients who cannot have surgery due to medical conditions. Ultimately, your dentist at Lake Olympia Dental can assess your individual needs and help determine which option is best for you.

patients have to say

"My kids and I have been patients of Dr. Dinh at Lake Olympia Dentist, and we couldn't be happier with the care we receive. Dr. Dinh and the entire staff are always professional, friendly, and welcoming from the moment we walk in the door.

They do an excellent job making my children feel comfortable and at ease during their appointments, which is something every parent appreciates. Dr. Dinh takes the time to explain everything clearly, answers questions thoroughly, and genuinely cares about his patients' dental health."

Roneisha Trimble

"I recently visited Dr Dihn’s dental office as a new patient and was very pleased with my experience. His staff was welcoming and professional throughout my visit. His hygienist, Allie, took the time to explain procedures related to my cleaning clearly to me, which made me feel comfortable throughout the appointment. The office was clean, organized, and efficient. I left feeling confident that I’ve placed my dental care in the right hands. All in all, great visit and I would definitely recommend this practice to anyone looking for a dentist."

" I came here to get a second opinion from a not so comfortable experience prior. Miaa, Dr Dinh, and Shannon were the sweetest and I 100% recommend coming here. My dental anxiety was easier to manage around them. Dr. Dinh is super comfortable to be around we even shared the same favorite cartoon. He recommended a game plan on my back bottom molar that is gonna end up needing a root canal or extraction. Nervous for the journey, but it’ll be ok!"

Rikki HER Harris

I decided to visit Lake Olympia Dental because the office is closew to home and I saw all the positive reviews, and I can see why! It was a seamless experience for being a new patient. Dr. Dinh and his staff were very personable, making sure you're at easy and having an enjoyable experience. They know their stuff and know how to make your visit smooth and efficient. The office is brand new, very clean and modern. My first time seeing a TV on the ceiling for patients to watch as you're getting your teeth cleaned. They also give you a warm face towel at the end to help freshen up. I sometimes forgot I was at the dentist.

I scheduled an emergency appointment today due to severe tooth pain and was able to be seen the same day. The office staff were very friendly and efficient, and the facility was new and clean. I appreciated how quick, yet thorough, my visit was. Most of all, I'm grateful for their late office hours, which made it possible for me to come in during the evening.
