A dental bridge is a reliable form of restorative dentistry used to replace one
or more missing teeth and restore both function and aesthetics. At Seaside
Dentistry, a dental bridge is carefully designed to “bridge the gap” created by
missing teeth by using the adjacent natural teeth as support, helping
re-establish a stable and balanced bite.
Most modern porcelain dental bridges are tooth-colored and crafted from
high-quality materials to blend seamlessly with your natural smile, providing
both strength and a natural, aesthetic result. The process typically involves
preparing the supporting teeth, taking precise digital impressions, and
placing a temporary bridge to protect the area while your custom restoration
is being expertly fabricated by our dental laboratory.
At your follow-up visit, the final custom dental bridge restoration is carefully
fitted, adjusted, and permanently bonded to ensure optimal comfort,
function, and long-term durability. Once completed, a dental bridge restores
proper chewing ability, maintains facial structure, and helps prevent
surrounding teeth from shifting out of position due to the missing tooth
space.
Another highly effective and often preferred option for tooth replacement is
a dental implant, which replaces the missing tooth root and provides
independent support without relying on adjacent teeth. Dr. Paré is the best
resource to evaluate your oral health, bone structure, and long-term goals in
order to recommend the most appropriate tooth replacement option,
whether that is a dental bridge, implant, or alternative restorative solution
tailored to your smile.
What is restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing and protecting damaged or
weakened teeth to restore function, comfort, and appearance. At Seaside
Dentistry, we provide personalized restorative treatments including crowns,
composite fillings, and dental bridges.
When do I need a dental crown?
A dental crown may be recommended when a tooth is cracked, weakened,
heavily restored, or needs additional protection. Crowns restore the strength,
function, and appearance of a tooth while helping preserve your natural
smile.
What are composite fillings?
Composite fillings are tooth-colored restorations used to repair cavities or
minor damage. Unlike traditional metal fillings, composite fillings blend
naturally with your smile for a more aesthetic result, and are a more
conservative treatment.
What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is a restorative option used to replace one or more missing
teeth. It helps restore your ability to chew comfortably while maintaining the
appearance and balance of your smile.
How long do crowns, fillings, and bridges last?
The lifespan of restorative dentistry depends on factors such as oral hygiene,
bite forces, and regular dental visits. With proper care, many restorations can
provide long-lasting results.
