Do you have a gap from a missing tooth that makes you feel self-conscious about your smile? Do you have trouble speaking or eating due to missing teeth? Consider a dental bridge from Ballwin Family Smiles to replace your tooth and create a full, beautiful smile!

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is designed to fill in the gap in your smile with a natural-looking tooth replacement.

A dental bridge consists of several dental crowns fused together. The middle crown, or pontic, is the tooth replacement and fits inside the space from your missing tooth. The other crowns act as anchors and are bonded to your natural teeth on either side of the gap.

Benefits of a Dental Bridge from Ballwin Family Smiles

Our experienced dental team is ready to show you how a dental bridge works and how it can help you. The advantages of giving yourself a full smile with a dental bridge include:

  • Improving your bite and ability to eat.
  • Protecting the surrounding teeth from damage.
  • Making cleaning your teeth easier and more efficient.
  • Restoring your full smile.

We also want you to feel comfortable during your visit. Our Dentist can explain the process thoroughly, and our entire team works together with your care in mind.

What Is the Process for a Dental Bridge

When you come in for your consultation, we’ll make sure a dental bridge will work for you. We also create an impression of your teeth so your new dental bridge blends in naturally with your smile. The impressions are then sent to a lab, and your new bridge is created and sent back.

After about a week, you’ll return to our office so the Dentist can ensure the dental bridge fits properly. The Dentist then bonds the outer dental crowns to your teeth so your bridge stays firmly in place. You can walk out of the office holding your head high and sharing your new smile with everyone!
