Dental Bridges in Smyrna, GA

Gaps from a missing tooth or missing teeth can cause the others to shift out of place. This can cause more tension in your jaw, increased pain during chewing, or impaired speech. A bridge improves the health and appearance of your mouth by covering gaps with a false tooth supported by your surrounding teeth, dental implants, or both. Our experienced team of board-certified dental professionals offers dental bridges made with the finest porcelain to help restore your smile. If you are missing one or more teeth, please schedule an appointment at MINT dentistry in Smyrna, GA to get more information about bridges. Dental bridges can rejuvenate your oral health and give you a luminous smile.

Most of the time, patients believe that a missing tooth is only a cosmetic concern. However, there are a lot of consequences that a missing tooth or teeth can have on your oral health. Your mouth is carefully balanced so gaps from missing teeth will impact the health and function of your mouth. In time, a gap can cause your teeth to shift, leading to bite problems, as well as atrophy in your jaw. To hold the bridge, your neighboring teeth need to be disease-free and surrounded by healthy gums and solid bone tissue. In the event that multiple teeth have been lost, two or more dental implants might be positioned to provide support for the bridge. Our MINT dentistry team will evaluate your teeth during your annual exam and consultation to help us create a personalized treatment plan to help you improve your appearance.

We have massaging chairs for you to sit back and relax in before your procedure begins. Once you've put on a pair of our MINT sunglasses and Beats headphones, the selected areas of your mouth will be anesthetized to keep you comfortable. Other sedation options are available upon request if you have any dental anxieties or a strong gag reflex. Once your mouth is ready, one of our skilled MINT dental professionals will prep the teeth designated to support the bridge. An impression of the treatment site will then be taken and forwarded to a dental lab where your bridge will be developed. A temporary bridge or restoration can be placed while your custom bridge is being made. Once your bridge is sent back to our lab, we will schedule an appointment to place your bridge. Your bridge will either be cemented in place or attached to dental implants, depending on the method chosen during your consultation. Your dentist will fit the bridge for a proper fit that feels comfortable.

You should observe an improvement in the appearance and function of your teeth. If your mouth feels off in the weeks following the placement, you should schedule a follow-up appointment. We will teach you how to maintain your new restoration, particularly how to properly clean it. It's crucial to keep your bridge and mouth clean since cavities could still form on the support teeth. With proper dental care, your bridge may last for a long time. We encourage you to continue to attend regular appointments at MINT dentistry in Smyrna, GA for your annual oral examination and biannual professional cleanings. During your exams, our team will monitor the health and wear of your bridge.
