At Shrewsbury Dental Associates, we understand how important it is to have a complete, confident smile, especially when you're looking for care close to home. Dr. Kaplan and Dr.Krishnan provide custom dental bridges that restore both the appearance and function of your teeth, so your smile looks natural, and you feel comfortable.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed (non-removable) device used to replace one or more missing teeth. It is securely anchored to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap, creating a seamless and natural-looking restoration.
Each bridge is custom-made to match your smile, helping you eat, speak, and smile with confidence again (without the need for removal like traditional dentures).
Why Might You Need a Dental Bridge?
Missing teeth affects more than just your appearance; they can also impact your oral health and comfort. A dental bridge may berecommended to:
• Restore your ability to chew and speak clearly
• Fill gaps and improve the appearance of your smile
• Prevent nearby teeth from shifting out of place
• Maintain the natural shape of your face
• Offer an alternative to dental implants or removable dentures
Our friendly team will walk you through your options soyou can choose what feels right for you.
What to Expect During the Dental Bridge Procedure
We make every step of your visit as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Your dental bridge treatment typically includes:
• Gently numbing the area for your comfort
• Preparing the supporting teeth to fit the bridge
• Taking precise digital impressions for a custom fit
• Placing a temporary bridge (if needed)
• Securing your final, permanent bridge
In some cases, we may be able to create your bridge the same day. If not, you’ll return for a quick follow-up visit to have your final bridge placed and adjusted for a perfect fit!
