Top-Rated Dental Bridges: Restore Your Smile with AH Dentistry

We often recommend a dental bridge to patients needing to replace one tooth or a few missing teeth. We make a traditional bridge and place the artificial replacement teeth between two dental crowns. We attach your crowns to the natural teeth on either side of the gap. Having a dental bridge from us provides you with a variety of cosmetic and functional benefits, including:

Restoring Your Smile: Our dental bridges fill the spaces left by missing teeth so you can smile again.
Improving Chewing & Speech: The bridge we create for you will help you chew your food properly and speak clearly.
Preserving Facial Shape: Missing teeth can cause your face to sag unless you have one of our dental bridges.
Preventing Shifting Teeth: Our bridges prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of place.
Evening Out Your Bite: We install your dental bridge to distribute your bite and help prevent wear and tear on your teeth.

Our dentists and staff can determine if a dental bridge is the best solution for your missing teeth. We recommend coming in for a full examination and consultation. If we determine that a dental bridge is your best option, we’ll make a mold of your teeth impression for the bridge. If a dental bridge isn’t your best option, we’ll discuss our other general dentistry options during your appointment. Contact us to begin your journey to a beautiful smile and more.

Preserve Your Dental Bridge to Keep Your Beautiful Smile Intact

While our dental bridges offer a great solution, you must take care of them. While our dentists secure your bridge to your remaining teeth, we know it’s easy to dislodge your dental prosthesis. While we can replace a dislodged bridge, we’d rather you not go through the trouble of having that done. Our founder, Dr. Alberto Herrero, recommends following these tips to help keep your bridge in place:

Maintain Oral Hygiene: Brush your teeth twice per day with a soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Make sure you clean around the bridge and surrounding gumline to prevent plaque buildup.
Daily Flossing: Use specialized dental floss to remove food particles and plaque around your bridge. This helps reduce the risk of gum disease and decay.
Avoid Hard, Sticky Foods: Ice, nuts, and hard candies can damage or dislodge your bridge. Sticky foods such as caramel or taffy can have the same effect.
Antimicrobial Mouthwash: This helps reduce bacteria and maintain gum health around the bridge. This helps prevent infections and preserves your bridge.
Regular Dental Check-Ups: Visit us every six months for professional cleanings and exams.

If you live an active lifestyle and are concerned about a dental bridge dislodging, we have other solutions. Our top-rated dental implants tend to be more durable than dental bridges. This dental implant procedure requires us to insert a titanium post in your jaw. We recommend getting an examination from our top-rated dentists to see if you have the bone density to support this procedure.
