Dental Bridges

Allegro Smiles

At Allegro Smiles in Rochester, NY, we understand the importance of restoring both the function and beauty of your smile. Dental bridges are a reliable and effective solution for replacing missing teeth, giving you a complete and healthy smile that enhances your confidence and oral health.

What are Dental Bridges?

Dental bridges are custom-made prosthetics designed to fill gaps left by missing teeth. They consist of artificial teeth (pontics) anchored by dental crowns or implants on either side of the gap. Crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, bridges restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with ease.

Types of Dental Bridges

  • Traditional Bridges: Supported by crowns on the teeth adjacent to the gap, these are the most common type of bridge.
  • Cantilever Bridges: Used when there are supporting teeth on only one side of the missing tooth or teeth.
  • Maryland Bridges: Feature metal or porcelain wings bonded to the backs of adjacent teeth, preserving more of the natural tooth structure.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

  • Restore Function: Bridges allow you to chew and speak properly by filling gaps.
  • Improve Aesthetics: Replace missing teeth to enhance your smile and boost self-confidence.
  • Maintain Facial Structure: Prevent sagging and maintain facial shape by replacing missing teeth.
  • Prevent Shifting: Bridges keep neighboring teeth from moving out of position.

The Dental Bridge Procedure

  1. Consultation: We evaluate your oral health and discuss if a dental bridge is the right solution for you.
  2. Preparation: Adjacent teeth are reshaped to accommodate crowns.
  3. Impressions: Detailed impressions are taken to ensure a custom fit.
  4. Temporary Bridge: A temporary bridge is placed while your permanent bridge is fabricated.
  5. Placement: Once the permanent bridge is ready, it is adjusted for a comfortable fit and secured in place.

Caring for Your Dental Bridge

To ensure the longevity of your dental bridge:

  • Brush and Floss Regularly: Clean thoroughly around the bridge and adjacent teeth to prevent plaque buildup.
  • Attend Regular Check-Ups: Professional cleanings and exams help maintain the condition of your bridge.
  • Avoid Hard Foods: Be cautious with hard or sticky foods that could damage your bridge.
