Dental Bridges – Replace Missing Teeth with Confidence
AmeriDental provides high-quality, natural-looking dental bridges to restore your smile’s appearance and function—serving patients across North Brunswick and Hillsborough, NJ.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a custom-made restoration that fills the space created by one or more missing teeth. It literally “bridges” the gap using adjacent healthy teeth or dental implants as support. At AmeriDental, our bridges are crafted to look and feel like natural teeth while preserving your bite and facial symmetry.
Common Reasons for Dental Bridges
- To replace a missing tooth or multiple teeth
- To prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of position
- To restore chewing and speech function
- To improve facial structure and confidence
Types of Dental Bridges
- Traditional Bridges: Supported by crowns on natural teeth on either side of the gap.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: Anchored by dental implants instead of natural teeth for extra stability.
- Maryland Bridges: Uses metal or porcelain wings bonded to adjacent teeth (used for front teeth).
Our Bridge Placement Process
- Consultation & Digital Imaging: We evaluate your oral health and determine the best bridge type.
- Tooth Preparation: Adjacent teeth are reshaped (if applicable) to support the bridge.
- Impressions: Digital or physical molds are taken to create a custom-fit restoration.
- Temporary Bridge: You’ll wear a temporary bridge while the permanent one is crafted.
- Final Placement: The custom bridge is cemented or anchored in place and adjusted for comfort.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: How long do dental bridges last?
A: With proper care, dental bridges typically last 10–15 years or longer.
Q: Are bridges better than implants?
A: It depends on your situation. Bridges are non-surgical, but implants may offer longer-lasting support. We’ll help determine the right solution during your consultation.
Q: Will my bridge look natural?
A: Yes. AmeriDental uses tooth-colored materials matched to your smile for a natural appearance.
Q: How do I clean my dental bridge?
A: Special floss threaders, interdental brushes, and regular brushing help maintain cleanliness underneath and around the bridge.
Q: Is the procedure painful?
A: No. We ensure your comfort with local anesthesia, and most patients experience little to no discomfort.
