Dental Bridges

What are dental bridges?

Bridges are fixed, meaning they don’t come out; though there are many options, the most popular is made of porcelain, to match your teeth, attached to metal. Two crowns cover the teeth on either side, with the artificial tooth or teeth attached in between.

Your dentist will advise you on the proper care and cleaning of your fixed bridge. Brushing and flossing will extend its longevity, as will routine dental exams and cleanings..

I been coming to Dental Arts for a few years and was a skeptical about returning since my regular hygienist had moved on but my experience was super. I was knowledge right of way as I entered the office, making me feel welcomed. Jannette was down to earth , I feel I like knew her already. She did a fantastic job with the cleaning. The entire team was fantastic.

I can't quite put into words how satisfied I am with my service care at Dental Arts of Pelham. The multi-level excellence demonstrated at this office is unmatched. From the warmth and level of expertise at the front desk to my dental assessment and services, I was very pleased all the way through. Noteworthy to mention is Marline's impeccable service. She was reassuring and knowledgable about my insurance and provided me the ease I needed at the end of my visit. 10/10 recommend this office to anyone who is looking!

This location and the team at Dental Arts Pelham are amazing. Marlene and Carol are so professional and truly works with you when trying find the proper care and finance if need be. They don’t just see you as a number, but as family which means they go above and beyond.Dr. Daphne Benedit is one in a million. Her compassion for others and gentle care when handling patients is impeccable. It’s like coming home to a family reunion seeing everyone you love with grandma there greeting you with a smile that lights up the room, that’s Dr. Benedit. My mother came in for an extensive procedure and even though she didn’t have to, she called weeks in to make sure my mother was doing well with her care. Usually with dentist you feel pain and discomfort, I can truly say that Dr. Benedit truly loves her job and it shows in every smile that walks out of that office. Dr. Markovitch has truly developed a wonderful team and an office that feels like a second home. I highly recommend this location for anyone looking to make a difference in their smile and hygiene.

Looking for dental bridges in pelham or mount vernon?

What are the three types of dental bridges?

Types of dental bridges

There are three types of dental bridges that are commonly used today

Traditional fixed bridge – This is the most common type of dental bridge, in which porcelain crowns are placed over the two surrounding teeth and used as anchors to hold the prosthetic tooth in place. The false tooth is usually made of either porcelain fused to metal or ceramics.

Cantilever bridge – A cantilever bridge is used when teeth are present on only one side of the gap. These are used typically in areas of your mouth that doesn’t experience an intense chewing load, such as your front teeth.

Resin-bonded bridge – In a resin-bonded bridge, metal bands are bonded to the surrounding teeth with resin and used to hold a plastic false tooth in place. This type of bridge is typically used in areas of the mouth that undergo less stress, such as the front teeth.

How is a dental bridge fitted?

At bridge will require a minimum of two visits, due to the intricacy of preparing a permanent device. At the first visit, the adjoining teeth are prepped for the crowns by having some of the enamel removed. A highly accurate impression is taken and sent to a laboratory, where the permanent bridge will be created.

You’ll typically wear a temporary bridge for a few weeks until the permanent one is ready. Then, it will be placed, checked, and cemented. In some cases, your dentist may want to adhere the bridge temporarily so your teeth and tissue can adjust, and permanently cement it at a later appointment.

At the second visit, the temporary bridge is removed and the new bridge received from the laboratory is fitted and adjusted. Multiple visits may be necessary to check and adjust the fit.
