Bridges

Replace a gap in your smile

A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth with a restoration supported by neighboring teeth or dental implants. It can help restore chewing and the appearance of your smile. Silverlake Dental Group examines the teeth around the gap and your gums to determine whether a bridge is an appropriate option.

Compare your choices

A traditional bridge usually relies on crowns on the teeth beside the space. An implant-supported bridge uses implants for support. We discuss the condition of potential supporting teeth, the location of the gap, and alternatives such as an individual implant or a removable denture. The right choice depends on your oral health and treatment goals.

Fit and ongoing care

Planning may involve digital records, tooth preparation, and appointments to check the restoration's fit and bite. We explain the sequence before treatment starts. Cleaning underneath the replacement tooth and around the supporting teeth is especially important. Our team can demonstrate tools that help reach these areas. Regular examinations allow us to monitor the bridge, its supports, and the health of your gums.
