Dental bridges may be the ideal solution if you have missing teeth and are looking for a reliable way to restore your smile. At Kids N More Dentist, we offer dental bridges near you that not only fill the gaps but also restore function, improving your ability to eat, speak, and confidently smile. Our expert team, led by Dr. Rackham, ensures that each dental bridge is custom-made to blend smoothly with your natural teeth, providing a long-lasting solution for tooth replacement.
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a dental prosthetic appliance that replaces one or more missing teeth. It bridges the gap left by the missing teeth, using abutments (natural teeth or dental implants) on either side of the gap. The pontic, or false tooth, is securely placed between these abutments. Depending on the number of missing teeth and the condition of your surrounding teeth, you can opt for different types of dental bridges, including traditional, cantilever, Maryland, or implant-supported bridges.
Types of Dental Bridges We Offer
At Kids N More Dentist, we offer various types of dental bridges in San Antonio, TX, to cater to the unique needs of our patients. These include:
-
Traditional Dental Bridges: The most common type uses crowns on both sides of the gap to anchor the bridge.
-
Implant-Supported Bridges: These bridges are supported with dental implants instead of natural teeth, and they are ideal for those missing multiple teeth in a row.
-
Cantilever Bridges: Used when only one adjacent tooth is available for support.
-
Maryland Bridges: Metal or porcelain wings are bonded to the back of existing teeth to secure the bridge.
During your consultation, Dr. Rackham will help you decide which type of bridge best suits your dental needs and health.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Getting a dental bridge nearby typically requires two visits. During the first appointment, Dr. Rackham will prepare your abutment teeth by reshaping them to fit the crowns. Impressions will be taken to ensure your new bridge fits perfectly. A temporary bridge will be applied while your permanent bridge is being crafted.
At the second appointment, Dr. Rackham will take out the temporary bridge and bond the permanent one securely. After the procedure, you’ll enjoy a fully restored smile and improved function.
