Missing teeth can affect both your smile and oral health. At Cranberry Dental Arts, we provide dental bridges in Cranberry Township, PA to restore function and create natural-looking results. Our customized treatment helps you smile, eat, and speak with confidence.
A dental bridge is a personalized restoration designed to fill the gap by securing artificial teeth to neighboring natural teeth or dental implants.
Beyond enhancing your smile, a dental bridge restores chewing function, supports proper bite alignment, and helps prevent surrounding teeth from shifting. Each restoration is custom-made to blend naturally with your existing teeth for durable, natural-looking results.
Even one missing tooth can affect your oral health over time. Without treatment, nearby teeth may shift into the space, leading to bite changes, uneven wear, and difficulty chewing or speaking. As part of a comprehensive restorative dentistry treatment plan, replacing missing teeth with a dental bridge can help:
Replacing missing teeth with a dental bridge can help:
Prompt treatment helps preserve your remaining teeth and may reduce the need for more extensive restorative care in the future.
Every smile is unique, so treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your oral health and restorative goals. Based on your needs, we may recommend a traditional, Maryland, cantilever, or implant-supported bridge, and in some cases, dental crowns may be used to support the restoration. Our team will explain your options and help you choose the solution that best supports your long-term oral health.
Your treatment begins with a comprehensive examination, during which we evaluate your oral health and take digital impressions to create a personalized treatment plan.
When a traditional bridge is the appropriate option, the neighboring teeth are gently reshaped to support your custom-made restoration. A temporary restoration may be placed to protect the prepared teeth until your custom bridge is ready.
Once your custom bridge is ready, it is securely placed and adjusted to ensure a comfortable fit and natural appearance. We'll also provide instructions on caring for your restoration to help maintain its function and longevity.
A dental bridge can provide dependable function for many years with proper care. Maintaining good oral hygiene, cleaning beneath the bridge, and attending regular dental checkups help protect your restoration and overall oral health.
For patients who may not be candidates for a bridge, partial dentures may be another effective tooth-replacement option that our team can discuss during your consultation. Avoiding hard objects, such as ice, can also support the long-term success of your dental bridge.
Replacing missing teeth can improve your oral function, protect your remaining teeth, and restore confidence in your smile.
