Discover Your Solution for Missing Teeth with East Peak Dental Group
Missing teeth can cause more than just esthetic concerns; they can impact your oral health and overall well-being. At East Peak Dental Group in South Lake Tahoe, Dr. Gordon and Dr. Appelblatt offer dental bridges as one of the many solutions to restore your smile and confidence.
Understanding Dental Bridges
A dental bridge fills the gap left by missing teeth, effectively bridging the space between adjacent teeth. Typically, it consists of two dental crowns anchoring a false tooth, or pontic, in between. This restoration not only improves the appearance of your smile but also maintains proper tooth alignment and function.
The Dental Bridge Procedure
The process of getting a dental bridge involves two appointments. During the first visit, Dr. Gordon or Dr. Appelblatt will prepare the adjacent teeth to support the bridge by reshaping them and taking digital impressions. A temporary bridge will likely be placed while your custom bridge is being fabricated. At the second appointment, the permanent bridge is placed and adjusted for optimal fit and comfort.
Benefits of Choosing a Dental Bridge
- Restores your smile and confidence
- Improves chewing and speaking abilities
