Missing teeth can make eating, speaking and even smiling feel uncomfortable. If you’re missing one or more teeth, a dental bridge from Morgan Dental Care is a trusted, long-lasting solution that fills the gap and gets you back to enjoying life in Gorham.
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a customized restoration that literally “bridges the gap” left by one or more missing teeth. It’s made up of one or more artificial teeth (called pontics) anchored by crowns on your teeth next to the gap or by dental implants. At Morgan Dental Care, we design your bridge to blend beautifully with your natural smile and fit comfortably for everyday life.
You might need a dental bridge if:
- You’re missing one or more teeth in a row
- You have difficulty chewing or speaking due to a gap
- You notice your remaining teeth shifting or “drifting” out of place
- You want a permanent, non-removable solution to restore your smile
The Dental Bridge Process
At Morgan Dental Care, we know that restoring your smile is a big decision, and we’re here to make it as comfortable and straightforward as possible. Our process is built around your needs, so you always feel informed, supported and at ease.
What to Expect:
- Personalized Consultation: We begin by carefully examining your mouth and discussing your options. We use digital X-rays and gentle assessments to make sure a dental bridge is the best solution for you.
- Tooth Preparation: The teeth next to your gap (called abutment teeth) are gently prepared to support the crowns that will anchor your bridge. We use local anesthesia and a gentle touch for your comfort.
- Impressions & Shade Matching: We take precise impressions and match the color of your bridge to your natural teeth, so it looks seamless in your smile.
- Temporary Bridge: If needed, we place a temporary bridge to protect your teeth and maintain your smile while your custom bridge is created.
- Custom Bridge Placement: At your next visit, your new bridge is securely placed, adjusted for fit and comfort, and polished for a natural look.
