Dental Bridges are an excellent way to replace missing teeth and restore your smile. If you are looking for a dental bridge in Oyster Bay, NY, contact Corbin Dental today.

Dental bridges are commonly used to replace one or more missing teeth. A dental bridge is made up of two or more crowns that are placed on the existing teeth on either side of the gap created by the missing tooth. These crowns act as anchors for the false tooth or teeth, known as pontics, in between them. Dental bridges are usually made of porcelain or ceramic, although they can also be made of metal.

Types of Dental Bridges

There are several different types of dental bridges, including:

  • Traditional Bridges: Traditional bridges are the most common type of bridge. They consist of two crowns that are placed on the existing teeth on either side of the gap created by the missing tooth, with a false tooth in between. The false tooth is usually made of porcelain or ceramic.
  • Cantilever Bridges: A cantilever bridge is similar to a traditional bridge, except that it only consists of one crown on one side of the gap. The false tooth is attached to the single crown, and extends over the gap created by the missing tooth.
  • Resin-Bonded Bridges: Resin-bonded bridges are made of metal and porcelain, or just porcelain. The false tooth is bonded to the existing teeth on either side of the gap with a resin adhesive.
  • Maryland Bridges: Maryland bridges are similar to traditional bridges, except that they do not have crowns on the existing teeth. Instead, they have metal or porcelain wings that are bonded to the existing teeth. The false tooth is then attached to the wings.

What to Expect During the Procedure

The first step in getting a dental bridge is to schedule a consultation with your dentist. During the consultation, your dentist will examine your mouth and teeth to determine if you are a good candidate for a dental bridge. He or she will also take x-rays and impressions of your teeth in order to create a model of your mouth.

If you are a good candidate for a dental bridge, the next step is to have the abutment teeth prepared. This involves removing some of the enamel from the teeth in order to make room for the crowns. Your dentist will then take another impression of your mouth and teeth, which will be used to create the dental bridge.

Implant-Supported Bridge

If you are missing all of your teeth in one arch, an implant-supported bridge may be a good option for you. An implant-supported bridge consists of two or more implants that are placed in the jawbone, with a dental bridge attached to the implants. This type of bridge is more stable than a traditional dental bridge, and it does not require the existing teeth to be altered.

If you are missing one or more teeth, contact Corbin Dental at Oyster Bay, NY today to see if dental bridges are the right solution for you. Our experienced and skilled team will work with you to create a custom treatment plan that meets your specific needs and goals.
