Fixed Dental Bridges in Newport Beach, CA
Are you missing one or more teeth? Dr. George Maddox, DDS offers custom fixed dental bridges to help restore your smile, improve oral function, and enhance your overall appearance. Beyond just filling the gap in your smile, a dental bridge plays a critical role in supporting your facial structure and preventing your remaining teeth from shifting out of place.
Why Choose a Fixed Dental Bridge?
A fixed dental bridge provides a long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. Unlike removable options, fixed bridges are securely bonded into place, offering comfort and durability. Benefits include:
- Restored Smile: A seamless, natural-looking replacement tooth enhances your appearance.
- Improved Functionality: Enjoy normal chewing and speaking abilities again.
- Maintained Facial Structure: Prevents sagging and the hollow appearance that often accompanies tooth loss.
- Prevention of Shifting Teeth: Keeps surrounding teeth from moving into the gap, which could lead to bite issues and additional tooth loss.
How Dental Bridges Work
A dental bridge replaces your missing tooth or teeth by placing a pontic (artificial tooth) in the gap. The pontic is supported by crowns that are placed on the adjacent teeth or dental implants. This forms a “bridge” that is then permanently cemented into place, offering a stable, long-term solution.
The treatment process is straightforward and typically involves two appointments:
- Consultation and Preparation: Dr. Maddox will examine your mouth, take impressions, and prepare the supporting teeth for crowns.
- Placement of the Bridge: Once your custom bridge is ready, it is securely bonded in place, restoring both aesthetics and function.
