enefits of Dental Bridges

Dental bridges offer numerous advantages for those missing teeth:

• Improved appearance: Dental bridges restore the natural shape of your face and smile by filling in gaps left by missing teeth.
• Enhanced chewing and speaking: Replacing missing teeth helps improve your ability to chew food properly and speak clearly.
• Prevent teeth shifting: Filling in gaps with a dental bridge prevents neighboring teeth from shifting out of place.
• Long-lasting results: With proper care, dental bridges can last many years, offering a durable and permanent solution.

Types of Dental Bridges We Offer

At Only Smiles Family Dental, we offer various types of dental bridges to suit individual patient needs:

• Traditional Bridges: These are the most common type, consisting of one or more false teeth held in place by crowns on adjacent natural teeth.
• Implant-Supported Bridges: Instead of using crowns, this bridge is supported by dental implants, offering increased stability and strength.

Dr. Steven Bui will assess your oral health and recommend the most appropriate bridge option for your situation. Learn more about our dental crowns and how they are used in traditional bridgework.

The Dental Bridge Process at Only Smiles Family Dental

At our Friendswood office, we ensure that every dental bridge is custom-designed for your comfort and smile goals. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Initial Consultation: During your first visit, Dr. Bui will examine your mouth, take x-rays, and discuss your options for replacing missing teeth with a dental bridge.
2. Preparation of Adjacent Teeth: For traditional bridges, the teeth on either side of the gap are prepared by reshaping them to hold crowns.
3. Taking Impressions: We take precise impressions of your teeth, which are used to create a custom-fit dental bridge that matches your smile.
4. Fitting and Adjustment: Once your dental bridge is fabricated, Dr. Bui will place it, ensuring a perfect fit, comfort, and alignment.

Maintaining your dental bridge is crucial for long-lasting results. Proper oral hygiene, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, is essential.
