Bridges

Are missing teeth causing you discomfort and affecting your looks? Discover the perfect solution with dental bridges at Washingtonville Dental Group! These custom-made replacements span the gaps left by missing teeth, restoring your smile's beauty and function.

What Are Dental Bridges?

Crafted using durable and lifelike ceramic, dental bridges consist of one or more artificial teeth called pontics.

Pontics are anchored in place by dental crowns, which we fix over neighboring teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap. These crowns securely hold the bridge in position and restore your ability to talk and eat properly.

Benefits of Getting Dental Bridges

By covering gaps in your mouth, dental bridges bring back your smile's natural beauty and give you the confidence to show off your pearly whites. With bridges, you can also say goodbye to discomfort while eating or speaking, as they let you enjoy your favorite foods and communicate clearly.

Missing teeth lead to bone loss and give your face a sunken appearance. However, dental bridges maintain the proper alignment of your jaw and facial structure, improving your aesthetics and self-esteem.

Are Dental Bridges Permanent?

While dental bridges aren't permanent, they can have an impressive lifespan if you care for them. Generally, dental bridges last anywhere from 5 to 15 years, and you can keep them as good as new by following these tips:

• Brush your teeth and bridge twice to three times a day.
• Floss every day.
• Avoid biting on hard objects, including pens, nuts, and ice.
• Visit your dentist for regular check-ups.
• Maintain a balanced diet.
