Why Should I Get Dental Bridges?
Missing teeth can have a significant impact on your oral health and self-esteem. Dental bridges are an effective solution to this problem, restoring not just the aesthetics of your smile, but also the functionality of your teeth. By filling the gap left by missing teeth, dental bridges prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of place, which could lead to a misaligned bite and other dental complications. Dental bridges also enable you to chew food properly and speak clearly, improving your overall quality of life.

The Benefits Of Dental Bridges
Improved Aesthetics
Dental bridges are custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth. This means they blend in seamlessly with your remaining teeth, restoring the aesthetics of your smile. With a dental bridge, you can smile confidently again, knowing that your missing teeth are no longer visible.
Restored Functionality
Missing teeth can make it difficult to chew food properly and speak clearly. Dental bridges restore the functionality of your teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods without discomfort and speak without difficulty. With a dental bridge, you can enjoy a better quality of life.
Prevents Shifting of Teeth
When a tooth is lost, the remaining teeth can shift out of place, leading to a misaligned bite and other dental complications. Dental bridges fill the gap left by missing teeth, preventing the remaining teeth from shifting and helping maintain your oral health.
The Dental Bridges Treatment Process
Initial Consultation and Examination
The dental bridge process starts with an initial consultation and examination. Dr. Parikh will assess your oral health and determine whether a dental bridge is the right solution for you. This may involve taking X-rays or digital scans of your teeth.
Preparation and Impression
If a dental bridge is deemed suitable, the next step involves preparing the teeth that will support the bridge. An impression of your teeth is then taken, which will serve as a model for creating your custom dental bridge.
Fitting and Adjustment
Once your dental bridge is ready, Dr. Parikh will fit it onto your teeth. She will make necessary adjustments to ensure it fits perfectly and feels comfortable. This step is crucial in ensuring the success and longevity of your dental bridge.
