Bridging the Gap in Your Smile

A dental bridge is a fixed dental appliance used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of a false tooth, called a pontic, which is anchored in place by dental crowns on the adjacent teeth. This solution not only restores the natural look of your smile but also prevents your remaining teeth from shifting into the empty space. A bridge can help you chew and speak with ease, providing a durable and aesthetic solution to a missing tooth.

The Dental Bridge Procedure

Receiving a dental bridge typically involves a couple of appointments. During the first visit, Dr. Wierchowski will prepare the anchor teeth by carefully reshaping them to accommodate the crowns. We will then take a precise impression of your teeth, which will be sent to a dental lab to custom-fabricate your new bridge. A temporary bridge will be placed to protect your teeth while you wait. On your final visit, we will carefully place and bond your permanent bridge, ensuring a perfect fit and a beautiful result.
