Missing teeth can impact your ability to chew, speak and smile confidently. At Mosaic Dental, we offer dental bridges as an effective solution to restore your smile and maintain the health of your remaining teeth. Whether you are missing one tooth or multiple teeth, a dental bridge can be a reliable, long-term option to fill the gap and enhance your overall oral health.
A dental bridge works by anchoring artificial teeth, known as pontics, to the natural teeth or dental implants adjacent to the missing tooth. These neighboring teeth, called abutments, are fitted with dental crowns to provide strong support for the bridge. This fixed restoration helps distribute the forces in your bite evenly, preventing the surrounding teeth from shifting and maintaining proper alignment.
The benefits of choosing a dental bridge are numerous. Not only does it restore the function of your teeth, allowing you to chew and speak without difficulty, but it also helps maintain the shape of your face and prevents bone loss in the jaw. A well-designed dental bridge can also improve the appearance of your smile, boosting your confidence.
Getting a dental bridge typically requires two visits with our dentists to complete. During the first appointment, the abutment teeth are prepared, and impressions are taken to create a custom bridge. A temporary bridge is placed to protect your teeth until the permanent one is ready. At the second visit, the final bridge is fitted, adjusted and cemented into place, providing a secure and comfortable fit.
We invite you to call our team today to schedule a consultation with Dr. Anuradha Beri, Dr. Ramneek Kaur or Dr. Pawneet Khangura and learn more about dental bridges in Falls Church and Sterling, Virginia. We will evaluate your oral health, discuss your options and help you decide if a dental bridge is the right choice for your smile. Your journey to a complete, functional smile can start with a simple appointment.
