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.
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.
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 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.
At Lake Olympia Dental, we understand that you may feel overwhelmed when considering restorative solutions for your smile. We are here to provide support and guidance throughout the dental bridge treatment process. Our skilled team will help you determine if a dental bridge is right for you and tailor a plan to meet your needs. Don’t wait any longer to contact us to get started on the path to a healthier, brighter smile!

Wow highly recommend I meet Dr. Dinh in a previous dental office, and what can I say I have always been afraid of the dentist with the numbing process. How ever Dr. Dinh has made me feel so comfortable that I didn’t even feel when he numb me he did 5 fillings and I didn’t feel a dam thing. He sure knows what he is doing 100% recommended I sure will be recommending my family and friends to him.
