A Reliable, Long-Term Solution
Dental bridges can last for many years with proper care, making them a smart investment in your oral health. They help prevent shifting teeth, maintain your facial structure, and restore confidence in your smile.
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a custom-made restoration that fills the space left by one or more missing teeth. It’s a single restoration crafted to look like several individual teeth. Bridges use nearby natural teeth or dental implants for support, creating a beautiful, natural-looking smile that enhances both function and appearance. If you’re considering dental bridges in Santa Rosa, we are here to help.
Dental bridges have crowns on either side of the false teeth that can be secured to healthy teeth on either side of the gap or supported by dental implants for enhanced stability. We create custom dental bridges that seamlessly match your natural teeth, restoring your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
- Improve chewing ability and make speaking clearer.
- Prevent neighboring teeth from shifting out of alignment.
- Restore a natural, complete smile.
- Maintain proper bite function and prevent uneven wear on remaining teeth.
- Help preserve the shape and structure of your face.
- Boost your self-confidence with a fully restored smile.
Types of Dental Bridges
We offer two main types of dental bridges in Santa Rosa, which we can customize to suit your needs.
- Traditional Dental Bridges – Supported by crowns on the natural teeth adjacent to the gap. This is a strong and dependable option.
- Implant-Supported Bridges – Anchored directly to dental implants for maximum durability and stability without depending on stable natural teeth.
We’ll help you choose the best option based on your oral health and personal goals.
Dental Bridges vs. Other Tooth Replacement Options
When replacing missing teeth, there are multiple options to consider. Here’s how dental bridges compare:
- Dental Bridges – A durable and cost-effective option that provides a natural feel and appearance while restoring full function to your bite. However, a traditional bridge requires working on natural teeth on either side of a gap, which may not be possible in some situations. Dental bridges last about five to fifteen years, but can last longer with excellent care.
- Partial Dentures – A removable solution that is budget-friendly but doesn’t provide the same level of stability. A partial denture can replace multiple missing teeth without needing stable teeth on both sides. While this solution restores some chewing function, it’s not as strong as other options.
- Dental Implants – The most long-lasting and natural-feeling tooth replacement option. For an individual missing tooth, a dental implant can replace it without requiring work on your natural teeth, preserving their long-term health. An implant-supported bridge permanently replaces multiple teeth. However, implants have a higher initial cost and require a longer process that includes surgery.
Not sure which is right for you? Our team will help you explore your options and determine the best fit for your needs and budget.
