Reclaim Your Smile with Durable Dental Bridges
Reclaim Your Smile with Durable Dental Bridges
At True Dentistry Plus in Miami, FL, we specialize in dental bridges, an effective restoration solution designed to replace missing teeth and restore the function and aesthetics of your smile. A dental bridge fills the gap created by one or more missing teeth, using artificial teeth held in place by crowns on adjacent teeth or by dental implants.
Dental bridges not only improve the appearance of your smile but also restore functionality, helping to:
Fill the gaps in your smile to distribute the forces in your bite properly and aid in speaking and chewing.
Keep remaining teeth from shifting, which could lead to further dental issues.
Improve the aesthetics of your smile, helping you feel more confident and comfortable.
While dental implants offer a fantastic solution for many, they require a candidate to have healthy jawbones for successful implantation. Our team at True Dentistry Plus will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if dental implants are the best solution for you.
Depending on your specific needs, True Dentistry Plus offers two main types of bridges
These bridges use crowns on adjacent teeth as anchors for the false teeth in between.
A more stable and durable option where implants are placed in the jawbone to support the bridge directly, promoting jawbone health and providing a permanent solution without relying on surrounding teeth.
With proper care, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, your dental bridge can last between five to seven years or longer.

The process typically involves
Adjacent teeth are prepared by reshaping to accommodate crowns, or implants are placed in the jawbone.
Impressions of your teeth are taken to create a custom bridge that fits perfectly in your mouth.
A temporary bridge may be placed while your permanent bridge is being crafted.
Once ready, the permanent bridge is fitted, adjusted, and cemented into place, ensuring a natural look and comfortable fit.
