Are you looking to replace missing teeth without opting for surgery? Dr. Derek Lichter is delighted to offer dental bridges in Chula Vista, California!
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a customized restoration comprising of dental crowns and pontics, providing a nonsurgical solution to replace missing teeth. This innovative restoration is anchored to the natural teeth on both sides of the gap in your mouth. Bridges typically require two appointments to complete – one at which impressions are taken and the adjacent teeth prepared to receive the anchoring crowns, and one at which the final bridge is bonded into place. Our dentist will review your treatment process with you prior to providing any care to ensure you feel comfortable and understand your treatment plan and oral health needs.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
A dental bridge offers numerous advantages, including:
- Restoring Your Smile: Regain confidence with a complete and natural-looking smile.
- Improving Chewing and Speaking: Regain the ability to chew and speak properly.
- Maintaining Facial Shape: Preserve the natural shape of your face.
- Restoring Bite Forces: Ensure the necessary bite forces for proper dental function.
Durable and Long-Lasting
This robust restoration can last up to 15 years with proper care. By brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing at least once a day, and attending regular dental checkups, you can ensure that your dental bridge continues to provide the support you need for many years.
