Dental Bridges Mansfield TX

Dental bridges are artificial teeth designed to fill in gaps left by missing teeth. They are either cemented onto neighboring natural teeth (called anchor teeth) or attached to dental implants. Bridges are fixed in place, meaning they’re not removable like dentures.

How the Dental Bridge Process Works

Bridges can be made from different materials, depending on the position of the missing teeth. For example, back teeth may need stronger materials, while front teeth require more natural-looking options. Your dentist will choose the best option and match the bridge to the color of your natural teeth.

Here’s how the process typically works:

Preparing the Anchor Teeth:

The teeth next to the gap are gently reshaped to support the bridge, or dental implants may be placed if needed.

Taking Impressions:

An impression of your teeth is made using a mold. This helps us create a custom bridge in our advanced dental lab that fits your mouth perfectly.

Temporary Bridge Placement:

While your permanent bridge is being made, a temporary bridge will be placed so you can continue to eat and smile with ease.

Final Bridge Placement:

Once your customized bridge is ready (usually in 1–2 weeks), we’ll remove the temporary one and place the permanent bridge. It is either cemented to the anchor teeth or secured to implants.

Taking Care of Your Dental Bridge

Just like natural teeth, bridges need daily care:

• Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
• Floss carefully, especially between the bridge and natural teeth (your dentist may recommend special floss tools)
• Visit us regularly for checkups and cleanings

Taking care of your bridge can prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and ensure your restoration lasts for many years.
