Dental Bridges College Park, GA

The loss of a single tooth or multiple teeth presents more than just a cosmetic concern for many patients. When teeth are missing, other teeth often shift out of place, which can lead to increased tension in your mouth, discomfort when eating, or trouble speaking. A bridge can help restore the appearance and health of your mouth by filling spaces caused by tooth loss with a false tooth supported by either your surrounding teeth, dental implants, or both. At MINT dentistry, our experienced team of dental professionals offers dental bridges made from the finest porcelain to repair your smile. If you have missing teeth, schedule an appointment at MINT dentistry in College Park, GA to learn more about your tooth replacement options with dental bridges. Our custom dental bridges can improve your health and give you a luminous, natural-looking smile.

People with a missing tooth or teeth commonly believe tooth loss is simply an aesthetic issue. But missing a single tooth can have significant consequences for your dental health. Your mouth is carefully balanced so any large gaps between the teeth can affect your oral and overall health. As time goes on, a gap can allow your teeth to move, leading to bite problems and jawbone loss. To hold a bridge restoration, your nearby teeth must be free from disease and surrounded by healthy gums and solid bone tissue. In cases where consecutive teeth have been lost, a series of dental implants could be placed to provide support for the bridge. The team of professionals at MINT dentistry will evaluate your oral health during your comprehensive exam and consultation and develop a personalized plan for treatment to help rejuvenate your smile and health.

When you arrive for your bridge procedure, you will be asked to relax in a massaging treatment chair and given a pair of MINT sunglasses and Beats headphones to enjoy. The selected areas of your mouth will be numbed with local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. Sedation methods may be added upon request if you have any dental anxiety or a strong gag reflex. Once your mouth is ready, your MINT dentistry team will prepare the teeth designated to support the bridge. A quick impression of the area will then be captured and passed on to a dental laboratory where your bridge will be fabricated. A temporary bridge may be placed while your custom restoration is being made. When your new bridge is ready, we will schedule an appointment for you to have the restoration placed. The bridge will either be attached to implant posts (previously positioned in your jaw) or cemented to the surrounding teeth. A member of our team will carefully adjust the fit of the restoration to make sure feels secure and comfortable.

After the placement of your custom dental bridge, you should notice a significant improvement in the appearance and function of your teeth. It may take some time for you to get used to your bridge, but please contact our team if you have any concerns. A member of our team will show you how to clean and care for your tooth replacement. It is crucial to keep your bridge and mouth clean on a daily basis, as plaque and cavities can still collect on the support teeth. With optimal oral hygiene and routine dental care, your restoration can last for many years. You should continue to schedule visits at MINT dentistry in College Park, GA for your yearly oral exam and biannual dental cleanings. During your checkups, we will assess the condition of your bridge.

Bridges and other tooth replacement options may be covered in part under dental insurance plans. Our MINT dentistry team will contact your insurance provider to understand your coverage and calculate your personal costs. Our College Park, GA office accepts multiple payment methods, including low-interest medical financing, which will be discussed during your first appointment. Our team will help you select the best bridge type and material to fit both your goals and budget.
