Porcelain Dental Bridges Sterling Heights
A Straightforward Way to Replace Multiple Missing Teeth
A dental bridge is a fixed (non-removable) appliance and is an excellent way to replace missing teeth. A bridge consists of crowns that go over two anchoring teeth (abutment teeth) and are attached to pontics (artificial teeth), filling the gap created by one or more missing teeth. Dental bridges are highly durable and will last many years; however, they may need replacement or need to be re-cemented due to normal wear.

What Can Dental Bridges Fix?
Dental bridges are ideal for patients missing multiple teeth in a row along the same arch. They also offer other impressive benefits:
- They easily fill the space of missing teeth, offering a natural look.
- They help you maintain your facial shape.
- They prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position.
- They restore chewing and speaking ability.
- It’s possible to upgrade from a removable partial denture to a permanent dental bridge.
What Does Getting a Dental Bridge Involve?
Getting a bridge usually requires two or more visits. After the teeth are numbed, the two anchoring teeth are prepared by removing a portion of the enamel to allow for a crown. Next, a highly accurate impression (mold) is made, which will be sent to a dental laboratory where the bridge will be fabricated. In addition, a temporary bridge will be made and worn for several weeks until your next appointment.
At the second visit, your permanent bridge will be carefully checked, adjusted, and cemented to achieve a proper fit. Occasionally, we may only temporarily cement the bridge, allowing your teeth and tissue time to get used to the new bridge. The new bridge will be permanently cemented at a later time. You will receive care instructions after your treatment. Proper brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new permanent bridge, allowing it to serve your smile well for years!
