Natural Looking Tooth Replacements!
At Sage Dental, we believe that no one should have to live with reduced oral function or confidence. Our goal is to help you rediscover the joy of a healthy smile and enjoy the foods you love with the support of dentures or a bridge.
Missing or damaged teeth can impact both your confidence and oral function—but we can help. Whether you need dentures or a bridge to restore your smile (or even just a single tooth), the Sage Dental team will focus on aesthetics, fit, and comfort to provide replacements that look and feel like your natural teeth.
We provide:
- Conventional full dentures (placed after the gum tissue has healed)
- Immediate full dentures (placed right away and adjusted over time for the best fit)
- Partial dentures or bridges (attached to natural teeth to fill small gaps)
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a restorative solution designed to replace one or more missing teeth. Typically, the bridge is anchored to the two adjacent teeth, with the middle section resting on the gum line to fill the gap. With proper care, most dental bridges can last for many years, often decades, before replacement is needed. They offer a reliable alternative to dental implants.
Why Are Dental Bridges Needed?
A dental bridge is often recommended if you're missing a natural tooth. Similar to a crown but larger, it is designed to replace missing teeth. Bridges not only enhance the appearance of your smile but also restore the function of your teeth, making it easier to enjoy your favorite foods.
Who is a Good Candidate for Dental Bridges?
Through a thorough examination, we can assess whether and when a dental bridge may be needed. For patients who aren't ideal candidates for implants, a bridge can be an excellent alternative. Bridges are durable and long-lasting, often lasting for decades. Each bridge is custom-made to match your unique dental needs, ensuring it blends naturally with your existing teeth for a seamless look.
What Happens During the Dental Bridge Procedure?
We start by administering a local anesthetic to ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible for you. Next, we carefully reshape the two surrounding teeth to create space for the bridge. Once this is done, we take impressions of the area to create a custom mold for your new bridge. At your follow-up appointment, we’ll place the bridge, adjust its fit and bite, and ensure everything is perfect. Afterward, you'll leave with a beautiful new smile. With proper care and maintenance, your bridge can last for many years while continuing to look great.
If you think you may need a dental bridge, call our office today, and we’d be happy to answer any questions you have about the procedure.
