Do you have a gap from a missing tooth that makes you feel self-conscious about your smile? Do you have trouble speaking or eating due to missing teeth? Consider a dental bridge from Angeles Crest Dentistry to replace your tooth and create a full, beautiful smile!
A dental bridge is designed to fill in the gap in your smile with a natural-looking tooth replacement.
A dental bridge consists of several dental crowns fused together. The middle crown, or pontic, is the tooth replacement and fits inside the space from your missing tooth. The other crowns act as anchors and are bonded to your natural teeth on either side of the gap.
We also want you to feel comfortable during your visit. Our dentist can explain the process thoroughly, and our entire team works together with your care in mind.
When you come in for your consultation, we’ll make sure a dental bridge will work for you. We also create an impression of your teeth so your new dental bridge blends in naturally with your smile. The impressions are then sent to a lab, and your new bridge is created and sent back.
After about a week, you’ll return to our office so the dentist can ensure the dental bridge fits properly. The dentist then bonds the outer dental crowns to your teeth so your bridge stays firmly in place.
