Dramatic changes to your smile, from new chips to missing teeth, can feel painful, overwhelming, and irreversible. We understand the importance of feeling confident—and like yourself—when you smile.
With the modern restorative dental technology at Evolve Dentistry & Aesthetics, we can help you repair your smile. Whether you have one missing tooth, or even several in a row, ask our team about dental bridges in Craven County.
What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is a type of crown. Each dental bridge consists of multiple crowns fused together with a special “floating” tooth in the middle. This floating tooth works to bridge the gap of a missing tooth. We secure the crowns to the teeth surrounding the gap, and the bridge fills up the empty space.
Expertly developed dental bridges look so seamless that most people can’t tell that you have an at all.
Designing the Bridge
Because we want your dental bridge to look as natural as possible, we use your existing teeth as the template.
When you come in for your dental bridge appointment, we take impressions of your teeth and send them off to our sister lab. This lab uses the impressions to create your dental bridge, carefully matching the shade and size of the bridge to match the rest of your teeth.
Once we receive the bridge after production, you come in for your fitting. We install the bridge, and if everything fits as it should, you can go about your day with a restored smile.
Lasting Results
A major benefit of dental bridges is the duration of your results. They can last years or even decades without a replacement. To maintain the integrity of your dental bridges, avoid chewing overly hard foods with your new crowns.
We also recommend brushing and flossing them as you would with your natural teeth, and scheduling regular dental cleanings. If you do notice the bridge loosening, contact our clinic, and we can schedule an appointment as soon as possible.
