Restore Your Smile with Dental Bridges

At Viva Dental, we understand how important a complete, healthy smile is to your confidence and oral health. If you’re missing one or more teeth, dental bridges offer a reliable and aesthetically pleasing solution. Our expert team is here to help you restore your smile and improve your quality of life with this effective treatment.

What is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth by "bridging" the gap between your natural teeth. The bridge is typically anchored to the teeth on either side of the gap (known as abutment teeth), with a false tooth (or teeth) called a pontic placed in between. Dental bridges can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, ceramic, or a combination, to match the colour and appearance of your natural teeth.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

• Restores Your Smile: Dental bridges fill in the gap left by missing teeth, restoring the appearance of your smile and boosting your confidence.
• Improves Functionality: With a dental bridge, you can regain the ability to chew and speak properly, which can be compromised by missing teeth.
• Maintains Facial Structure: Missing teeth can lead to changes in your facial shape over time. A bridge helps maintain the natural contours of your face by supporting your facial muscles.
• Prevents Teeth Shifting: When a tooth is missing, the surrounding teeth can shift out of position, leading to bite problems and further complications. A bridge helps keep your remaining teeth in their proper place.
• Durable and Long-Lasting: With proper care, dental bridges are a durable solution that can last for many years.

How Does the Dental Bridge Process Work?

1. Consultation: Your journey to a restored smile begins with a consultation at Viva Dental. Our dental professionals will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if a dental bridge is the best treatment option for you.
2. Preparation: The abutment teeth (the teeth on either side of the gap) are prepared by reshaping them to accommodate the bridge. Impressions of your teeth are then taken to create a custom bridge that fits perfectly.
3. Temporary Bridge: While your permanent bridge is being crafted, a temporary bridge may be placed to protect the exposed teeth and gums.
4. Fitting the Permanent Bridge: Once your custom bridge is ready, it will be carefully fitted, adjusted for comfort and function, and then permanently bonded in place.
5. Aftercare: We’ll provide you with guidance on how to care for your dental bridge to ensure its longevity. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene are essential for maintaining your bridge and overall oral health.
