Dr. Kevin Lacour and Dr. Charles Burch are pleased to offer dental bridges as a reliable and aesthetic solution for replacing missing teeth. Dental bridges play a crucial role in restoring both the function and appearance of your smile, helping you regain your confidence and quality of life.
Dental bridges consist of one or more prosthetic teeth, anchored in place by crowns attached to the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. They serve multiple purposes, including:
- Filling the gaps left by missing teeth
- Restoring your ability to chew and speak properly
- Maintaining the shape of your face
- Distributing the forces in your bite properly
- Preventing remaining teeth from drifting out of position
The materials used for your dental bridge will be selected to match the natural color of your teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking result. Our dentists and team is skilled in creating bridges that not only function efficiently but also enhance the overall aesthetics of your smile.
The process of getting a dental bridge typically involves two or more visits to our office. During the initial visit, the adjacent teeth are prepared, impressions are taken and a temporary bridge is placed to protect the exposed teeth and gums. On the subsequent visit, the temporary bridge is removed, and the new permanent bridge is checked and adjusted to ensure a proper fit.
