At Dental Magic, we are dedicated to restoring the health and functionality of your smile with high-quality dental bridges. Led by Dr. William Bacon, our experienced team offers personalized dental bridge solutions to replace missing teeth and enhance your oral health. Dental bridges are a reliable and effective way to restore your smile and improve your quality of life.

What is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) that are anchored in place by dental crowns on the adjacent teeth (abutments). Bridges can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, and metal, ensuring a natural and durable result.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

Choosing dental bridges at Dental Magic offers numerous benefits:

• Restores Functionality: Dental bridges restore the ability to chew and speak properly, improving your overall quality of life.
• Enhances Appearance: Bridges fill the gaps left by missing teeth, restoring your smile and facial structure.
• Prevents Teeth Shifting: By filling the gaps, bridges prevent neighboring teeth from shifting out of position, which can lead to further dental issues.
• Durable and Long-Lasting: With proper care, dental bridges can last many years, providing a stable and reliable solution for missing teeth.

Types of Dental Bridges

At Dental Magic, we offer various types of dental bridges to meet your specific needs and preferences. Dr. William Bacon will help you choose the best option based on your dental condition and treatment goals.

Traditional Bridges

Traditional bridges are the most common type and consist of one or more pontics anchored by dental crowns on the adjacent teeth. This type of bridge is strong and durable, making it ideal for replacing molars and other teeth subjected to significant pressure.

Cantilever Bridges

Cantilever bridges are used when there is only one adjacent tooth available to support the bridge. While less common, they are a suitable option for certain situations where traditional bridges cannot be used.

Maryland Bridges

Maryland bridges, also known as resin-bonded bridges, use a metal or porcelain framework to bond the pontic to the back of the adjacent teeth. This type of bridge is less invasive and preserves more of the natural tooth structure.

Implant-Supported Bridges

Implant-supported bridges are anchored by dental implants rather than natural teeth. This type of bridge provides excellent stability and is ideal for patients who have multiple missing teeth. Learn more about our dental implants for a comprehensive solution.

The Dental Bridge Procedure

At Dental Magic, we ensure a smooth and comfortable experience during the dental bridge procedure. Here’s what you can expect:

Consultation and Examination

Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. William Bacon. During this visit, we will discuss your oral health goals, examine your teeth and gums, and take any necessary X-rays or impressions to plan your treatment.

Preparation

For traditional and cantilever bridges, the adjacent teeth will be prepared by removing a small amount of enamel to accommodate the crowns. Impressions of your teeth will be taken and sent to a dental lab to create your custom bridge. If you are receiving an implant-supported bridge, dental implants will be placed in the jawbone to act as anchors.

Temporary Bridge

While your custom bridge is being made, a temporary bridge may be placed to protect your prepared teeth and maintain the appearance of your smile.

Placement

Once your custom bridge is ready, Dr. Bacon will ensure it fits perfectly and securely. The bridge will be bonded to the prepared teeth or implants, and any necessary adjustments will be made to ensure a comfortable and natural bite.
