Dental Bridges in Fairport, NY

What Are Dental Bridges?

A dental bridge is a restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth (or teeth) between neighboring teeth or dental implants. Bridges are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

Dental bridges offer several advantages for patients with missing teeth:

• Restored Functionality: Bridges allow you to chew and speak naturally.
• Improved Appearance: Custom-made to match your natural teeth, bridges close gaps in your smile.
• Preventing Shifting Teeth: Replacing missing teeth keeps neighboring teeth from drifting out of position.
• Long-Lasting Results: With proper care, bridges can last 10–15 years or longer.

Types of Dental Bridges We Offer

At Spruce Grove Dental, we provide various types of bridges tailored to your specific needs:

1. Traditional Bridges

These are supported by dental crowns placed on the natural teeth adjacent to the gap. Traditional bridges are ideal for patients with healthy surrounding teeth.

2. Implant-Supported Bridges

For patients who are missing multiple teeth, implant-supported bridges provide a secure, long-lasting solution by anchoring the bridge to dental implants instead of natural teeth. Learn more about this option on our Dental Implant Restoration page.

3. Cantilever Bridges

Used when there’s only one natural tooth adjacent to the missing teeth, cantilever bridges are less common but still effective in specific situations.

The Dental Bridge Process

Our streamlined process ensures your bridge fits comfortably and functions perfectly:

1. Consultation

We’ll begin with a thorough exam to assess your oral health and determine the best type of bridge for your situation.

2. Preparation

For traditional bridges, the adjacent teeth are prepared to receive dental crowns. For implant-supported bridges, implants are placed and allowed to heal before the bridge is attached.

3. Custom Fabrication

Your bridge is custom-designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth for a seamless appearance.

4. Placement

Once your bridge is ready, we’ll bond it in place and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit.

Are Dental Bridges Right for You?

Dental bridges are an excellent option for patients who:

• Are missing one or more teeth in a row
• Have healthy adjacent teeth or dental implants for support
• Want a fixed solution that doesn’t require removal like dentures

If you’re unsure whether a dental bridge is the right choice, schedule a consultation with us to discuss your options.

Caring for Your Dental Bridge

Proper care is essential to maintaining the longevity of your bridge:

• Brush twice a day and floss daily, using a floss threader to clean under the bridge.
• Avoid chewing on hard objects like ice to prevent damage.
• Schedule regular checkups and cleanings at Spruce Grove Dental to keep your oral health in top shape.
