Dental Bridges Tucker, GA

When one or more of your teeth are missing, it's not just a cosmetic issue — missing teeth allow other teeth to shift out of place. This can cause increased tension on your teeth, pain while chewing, or trouble speaking. A dental bridge can help restore the health and appearance of your mouth by filling in areas of tooth loss using a false tooth supported by your natural teeth or dental implants. Our experienced team of dentists offers custom dental bridges made with the finest porcelain material to repair your smile and improve your oral function. If you're missing a tooth or teeth, schedule an appointment at MINT dentistry in Tucker, GA to learn more about your tooth replacement options with dental bridges. Custom dental bridges can rejuvenate your oral health and give you a stunning smile.

Many times, people who have a missing tooth believe it's just a cosmetic concern. However, there are a number of consequences that tooth loss can have on your dental health. The fact is, your mouth is carefully balanced, and gaps from missing teeth can affect its overall health and function. Over time, a gap can allow your teeth to shift, leading to bite problems and bone loss in the jaw. To support a bridge restoration, the adjacent teeth must be disease-free and surrounded by healthy gums and adequate bone levels. In cases where consecutive teeth have been lost, a series of dental implants could be placed to provide support for the bridge. The team of professionals at MINT dentistry will evaluate your oral health at your exam and consultation and develop a personalized tooth replacement treatment plan to restore your smile.

At the start of your procedure, you'll be asked to sit back in a luxurious treatment chair and be given pair of our MINT sunglasses and Beats headphones to wear. Your mouth will be numbed with local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Sedation methods may be added upon request if you have a strong gag reflex or anxiety about the procedure. When your mouth is ready, our MINT team will prepare the support teeth. A quick impression of the prepared teeth will then be taken and passed on to a laboratory, where your restoration will be developed. A temporary bridge or restoration can be worn while your custom bridge is completed. When your restoration is ready, you'll return to our office to have your new bridge placed. The bridge will either attach to the implant posts (previously placed in the jaw) or be cemented to the surrounding teeth, depending on the type of bridge selected. Your dentist will adjust the fit of your bridge to make sure it feels comfortable and secure.

Once your bridge is in place, you should notice an improvement in the appearance of your smile and the function of your teeth. If your bite feels uncomfortable following the bridge placement, please schedule a follow-up appointment at our office. We'll teach you how to properly clean and maintain your bridge restoration. It's crucial to keep your bridge and mouth clean on a daily basis, as plaque and cavities can still develop underneath the restoration. With optimal oral care, your tooth replacement may last for a long time. We encourage you to continue to schedule regular appointments at MINT dentistry in Tucker, GA for annual oral exams and bi-annual dental cleanings. During your check-ups, we'll evaluate the condition and function of your bridge.
