Dental Bridges in South Burlington
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap.
Our bridges are crafted from high-quality porcelain and ceramic materials that closely match the color, shape, and translucency of your natural teeth, restoring both the appearance and function of your smile.
How Dental Bridges Work
A traditional dental bridge consists of one or more pontics (artificial teeth) held in place by dental crowns on the adjacent anchor teeth. The process typically requires two office visits.
During the first visit, we prepare the anchor teeth, take precise digital impressions, and place a temporary bridge. At your second visit, your custom permanent bridge is fitted, adjusted, and bonded into place for a secure, comfortable fit.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
Dental bridges restore your ability to chew and speak properly, maintain the shape of your face, distribute bite forces evenly, prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of position, and give you back a complete, natural-looking smile.
With proper care including regular brushing, flossing under the bridge, and routine dental visits, your bridge can last many years.
Frequently Asked Questions
A traditional bridge can replace one to three consecutive missing teeth. For larger gaps, implant-supported bridges or other options may be recommended.
The process typically requires two visits over two to three weeks. During the first visit, we prepare the anchor teeth and take impressions. At the second visit, your custom bridge is placed.
Brush and floss daily, using a floss threader or interdental brush to clean under the bridge. Visit us regularly for checkups and professional cleanings to keep your bridge in excellent condition.
