A complete and healthy smile is essential to your oral function and overall confidence. If you are missing one or more teeth, dental bridges offer a proven, effective solution. At Bonaventure Dental Care in Baton Rouge, LA, we provide expert, personalized care to restore your smile with precision and long-lasting results.
What Are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are fixed prosthetic devices used to replace missing teeth by “bridging” the gap between two existing teeth. The bridge is anchored by crowns on the adjacent teeth to provide stability and restore your ability to chew and speak properly.
What Are The Benefits Of Dental Bridges?
Bridges help maintain proper bite alignment so you can chew and speak normally.
And, by filling gaps, bridges enhance the appearance of your smile and improves your overall look and feel.
By securing the adjacent teeth, bridges prevent further movement, including drifting and misalignment, which can lead to further oral health issues.
What Is The Process To Get A Bridge?
At Bonaventure Dental Care, we start with a comprehensive consultation to assess your oral health and discuss your goals. The procedure involves preparing the abutment teeth for crowns and taking impressions for the custom bridge. Once the bridge is made, we will securely put it in place to give you a comfortable and effective fit.
You Deserve Happiness
Our patients often share their positive experiences with our dental bridge services. One remarked, “The team at Bonaventure Dental Care made me feel at ease, and my new bridge works perfectly. It has completed my smile and made such a difference in my daily life.”
Because Lasting Confidence Starts With A Complete Smile
A dental bridge is a prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth (pontics) that are held in place by crowns attached to the adjacent natural teeth or implants.
If you have one or more missing teeth, a dental bridge can be a great option. A consultation with our dental team at Bonaventure Dental Care will help you determine if a bridge is the right solution for you.
Dental bridges offer several advantages including restoring your ability to chew and speak properly, maintaining the shape of your face, preventing your remaining teeth from drifting and improving the aesthetics of your smile.
With proper care, dental bridges can last between 5 to 15 years, and sometimes longer. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental visits are key to prolonging the life of your bridge.
Caring for a dental bridge involves brushing twice a day, flossing daily and using an antiseptic mouthwash to prevent decay and gum disease. It may also be recommended to use a special floss threader to clean under the bridge.
