Winchester Dental Studio makes dental bridges for patients in Winchester and nearby communities. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth with artificial teeth, called pontics, held in place by crowns on the neighboring natural teeth or on implants. It is shaped and shaded to match your other teeth so you can smile, eat and speak comfortably.

Our Procedure for Getting a Dental Bridge

Getting a dental bridge usually takes a few steps:

  1. Consultation and Planning: Engage in a comprehensive discussion with our experts to understand the procedure, costs, and what to expect.
  2. Preparation of Abutment Teeth: Reshaping and preparing the adjacent teeth for receiving the crowns that will support the bridge.
  3. Impression Making: Capturing precise impressions of the prepared area to fabricate a dental bridge that fits impeccably.
  4. Temporary Bridge: a temporary bridge protects the prepared teeth while your final bridge is made.
  5. Final Bridge Fitting: once it’s ready, the final bridge is cemented in place and adjusted for a comfortable fit.

Our dentists explain each step, from the first consultation to follow-up care.

Benefits of Our Teeth Bridges

A dental bridge fills the gap from a missing tooth and helps you chew and speak normally again. Here are the main benefits:

  • Aesthetic Restoration: Dental bridges fill the void left by missing teeth, reviving the natural beauty of your smile.
  • Improved Chewing: They restore the ability to chew food properly, promoting better digestion.
  • Enhanced Speech: By filling gaps, dental bridges aid in clear speech, rectifying issues caused by missing teeth.
  • Maintained Facial Structure: They help in maintaining the facial structure by preventing the remaining teeth from shifting.

  • Regular Check-ups: Scheduling regular dental check-ups to ensure the bridge is in good condition.
  • Avoiding Hard Foods: Steering clear of hard foods that could potentially damage the bridge.
  • Bridge Cleaners: use bridge cleaners to clean under the artificial tooth.

Dental Bridge FAQs

How long does it take to get a bridge?

Usually two visits a couple of weeks apart. At the first, we shape the supporting teeth, take impressions and fit a temporary bridge. At the second, we fit and cement the final bridge.

Bridge or implant: which is better?

A bridge is quicker and costs less up front, but the teeth beside the gap have to be filed down for crowns. An implant replaces the tooth on its own and leaves the neighboring teeth alone. If those teeth are healthy, a single tooth implant is often the better long-term choice. See crown, bridge or implant for a quick comparison.

How do I clean under a bridge?

Brush twice a day and clean under the false tooth once a day with a floss threader, super floss or a water flosser. Food trapped there can cause decay in the supporting teeth.

Does getting a bridge hurt?

The teeth are numbed while we shape them, so most people feel pressure, not pain. The supporting teeth can be sensitive for a few days.
