Dental Bridges

Do you have a missing tooth or missing teeth? Are you uncomfortable about being around people because your smile has gaps in it that are embarrassing? Do you even avoid activities that you would enjoy because you don’t want to smile around others, even loved ones? Or maybe you are finding it hard to eat and chew because you have missing teeth.

If any of these are the case, you may benefit from getting a dental bridge. Call or visit our office in Lodi near Stockton and Galt to have all your questions answered.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge or tooth bridge is a device that bridges the gap created in your mouth caused by a missing tooth or teeth. It can be for one tooth or several. A dental bridge is connected on each side by a dental crown.

The Dental Bridge Procedure

If you’re missing one or more teeth, dental bridges can provide a reliable solution to restore your smile and improve your oral health. Our experienced team is committed to helping you regain both function and confidence with high-quality dental bridges.

1. Consultation

Your dental bridge treatment begins with a thorough examination and consultation. We will take x-rays and images to determine if a dental bridge is right for you.

2. Tooth Preparation

If you opt for a traditional or cantilever bridge, we’ll prepare the adjacent teeth by removing a small amount of enamel to allow for the placement of crowns.

3. Impressions

We’ll take impressions of your teeth to create a custom bridge that fits comfortably and looks natural.

4. Temporary Bridge

While your permanent bridge is being fabricated, we may place a temporary bridge to protect your teeth.

5. Bridge Placement

Once your custom bridge is ready, you’ll return for the final placement. We’ll ensure a proper fit and make any necessary adjustments before permanently bonding it in place.
