Dental Bridges in Kennesaw, GA

If you have missing teeth, the gaps can allow other teeth to shift out of place, meaning that if you have missing teeth, it isn’t just a cosmetic problem. This can lead to increased tension in your mouth, increased pain while chewing, or even the impairment of speech. A bridge improves the health and appearance of your mouth by filling in spaces with a false tooth held in place by your natural teeth, dental implants, or both. Our skilled team of board-certified doctors and dental professionals offers dental bridges made from the finest porcelain to repair your beautiful smile. If you have gaps in your smile, schedule an appointment at MINT dentistry in Kennesaw, GA to learn more about bridges. Custom bridges can help rejuvenate your mouth and give you a luminous smile.

Having one missing tooth or multiple teeth may lead you to believe that it is just a cosmetic issue, but it is so much more. There are a lot of consequences that a missing tooth or teeth will have on your oral health. Your mouth is balanced carefully so a missing tooth will affect the function of your teeth and your health. Over time, a gap can cause your teeth to move, creating dental malocclusion, as well as atrophy in your jawbone. To support the bridge, your other teeth must be disease-free and surrounded by ample bone tissue and healthy gums. When consecutive teeth have been lost, a couple of dental implants could be positioned to support the bridge. Our MINT dentistry team will evaluate your mouth during your examination and consultation so we can develop a customized plan for treatment to help you restore your smile.

Before your treatment begins, you’ll be asked to sit back and relax in one of our treatment chairs. After putting on a pair of our MINT sunglasses and Beats headphones, the selected areas of your mouth will be numbed with local anesthesia to keep you comfortable. Stronger sedation options may be added to address any dental anxieties or a strong gag reflex. Once you are ready, your MINT dentistry team will prep the teeth designated to support the bridge. A quick impression of the prepared teeth will then be captured and shared with a dental lab where your dental bridge will be fabricated. A temporary bridge can be worn while your custom restoration is completed. Once your restoration is sent back to our lab, we will schedule an appointment to place your bridge. Your bridge will either be cemented in place or attached to dental implants, depending on the support selected during your consultation. A member of our team will adjust the fit of the bridge to make sure it fits properly.

You should notice an improvement in both the appearance and function of your teeth once the bridge has been placed. If your teeth feel off after the initial placement, you should schedule a follow-up appointment at MINT dentistry. Your team will show you how to maintain your bridge, particularly how to properly clean it. It is crucial to keep your bridge and mouth clean because cavities can still develop on the teeth supporting your restoration. With proper dental care, your bridge may last for a long time. You should keep scheduling visits at MINT dentistry in Kennesaw, GA for your yearly dental examination and twice-yearly professional cleanings. At your exams, your dentist will monitor the health and wear of your restoration.

If you have dental insurance, a dental bridge procedure may be partially covered by insurance. One of our MINT dentistry team members will contact your insurance company to determine your coverage and any out-of-pocket costs. Our Kennesaw, GA office takes many forms of payment, including medical financing, which can be discussed during your consultation. Your dentist will help you choose the correct bridge type and material to fit both your budget and needs. MINT dentistry is committed to using the highest quality materials available to make restorations that look beautiful.
