Dental BridgeDental Bridges provided by Our Expert Dentists in Prescott Valley, AZ at Bradshaw Family Dental ![]() There are several types of bridges. We will discuss the best options for your particular case. The "traditional bridge" is the most popular type and is usually made of porcelain fused to metal. This type of bridge consists of two crowns that go over two anchoring teeth (abutment teeth) and are attached on either side of the artificial teeth (pontics), filling the gap created by one or more missing teeth. Bridges are highly durable and will last many years with proper homecare; however, they may need to be replaced or re-cemented due to normal wear. Reasons for a Fixed Bridge
What Does Getting a Fixed Bridge Involve?Getting a bridge usually requires two or more visits. While the teeth are numb, the two anchoring teeth are prepared by removing a portion of enamel to allow for a crown. Next, a highly accurate impression (mold) is made which will be sent to a dental laboratory where the bridge will be fabricated. In addition, a temporary bridge will be made and worn for about two weeks until your next appointment. At the second visit, the temporary bridge will be removed, and your new bridge will be carefully checked, adjusted, and cemented or bonded. You will receive care instructions at the conclusion of your treatment. Proper brushing, flossing and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new bridge. To schedule an appointment please call (928) 277-0076 and out professional and courteous staff will set up a time and date that works for you. |
