Bridges in Charlotte, NC
Imagine Dentistry
Dental bridges help close spaces that are created by missing one or more teeth. A bridge consists of two or more crowns placed on teeth on either side of the gap, known as abutment teeth, with the false tooth bridging the two crowns. Natural teeth or implants can support dental bridges. If you have missing teeth and want to know whether you are a candidate for a bridge, then contact us at Imagine Dentistry. We have a highly equipped dental practice in Charlotte with experienced dentists who will look after all your dental needs.
There are several benefits to restoring teeth and spaces with a dental bridge. It is a way to replace a missing tooth, which in turn will restore your smile, aid in form and function, and can prevent the remaining teeth from shifting.
There are different types of bridges. Depending on your existing dentition you can opt for a traditional, cantilever, or Maryland bonded bridge. Conventional bridges are the most popular and are used when you have natural teeth on both sides of your missing teeth. Cantilever bridges are used when you have a natural tooth on either side of the gap. And finally, Maryland bridges replace your front teeth with minimal tooth preparation.
The process of getting bridges is quite simple. First, we will prepare your abutment teeth. Next, impressions of your teeth are taken, and you will be given a temporary bridge or crown. At your next visit, your customized, permanent bridge will be cemented.
With a good oral hygiene routine and regular visits to your dentist, dental bridges can last for many years. Your dentist will review the proper care for maintaining your bridge upon final placement. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Ann Coambs today. Call us at 704-540-7600.
