Your Smile, Our Passion

TRANSFORM YOUR SMILE

Replacing missing teeth isn’t just a cosmetic consideration; it’s essential to your overall oral health. If teeth aren’t replaced, the bone can recede, and gum disease can develop, risking your remaining teeth.

The gap can also allow other teeth to shift, leading to misalignment and changes to the shape of your face.

A dental bridge is one of the treatments Your Family Dental in Merritt Island offers to replace missing teeth
and transform your smile.

Dental Bridge

What is a dental bridge?

A dental bridge can replace a single tooth or several and is designed to fit seamlessly with the rest of your teeth for a natural, healthy smile.

A traditional bridge is one or more prosthetic teeth anchored by two crowns placed on the adjacent teeth. This type of bridge is usually removable.

An implant-secured bridge is secured with dental implants for a secure bite and is a permanent solution for missing teeth.

What can I expect at a dental bridge appointment?

At Your Family Dental in Merritt Island, our expert dentist will examine your mouth and discuss all the options to replace your missing teeth with a dental bridge

Next, your dentist will make an impression of your teeth to send to the lab and craft a custom-fit dental bridge that will sit comfortably and seamlessly in your mouth.

If you're having a traditional bridge, your anchor teeth will be prepared for the crowns or implants if you’re having an implant-secured bridge.

When the lab sends the bridge back to us, we make sure it fits you perfectly and that your smile is complete.

Having gaps in your smile can affect your confidence and self-esteem, affecting your personal and professional life. Schedule an appointment with Your Family Dental to arrange a consultation and find out about all the options we have to give you a great smile that will make you smile.
