Dental Bridges in Kendall, FL
New Life Dental
Dental bridges are prosthetic devices used to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) anchored by crowns on adjacent natural teeth or implants. The treatment process for dental bridges generally includes the following steps:
- Initial Consultation: We evaluate your oral health and discuss your options to determine if a dental bridge is right for you.
- Tooth Preparation: The adjacent teeth or implants, which will support the bridge, are prepared by removing a small amount of enamel to ensure a proper fit.
- Impressions: Accurate impressions of your teeth are taken to create a custom bridge that fits seamlessly.
- Temporary Bridge: A temporary bridge may be placed while your permanent bridge is being fabricated.
- Bridge Placement: Once your permanent bridge is ready, we securely cement it into place, restoring your smile and bite.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
Dental bridges offer numerous advantages for patients missing one or more teeth, including:
- Restored Function: Bridges help restore your ability to bite, chew, and speak properly, improving your overall oral function.
- Improved Aesthetics: They fill gaps left by missing teeth, enhancing the appearance of your smile with natural-looking results.
- Prevention of Teeth Shifting: Bridges prevent adjacent teeth from shifting into the gap left by missing teeth, which helps maintain proper alignment.
- Durability: Made from high-quality materials such as porcelain or metal, dental bridges are designed to be durable and long-lasting.
- Comfort: Custom-made bridges fit comfortably and feel like natural teeth, allowing you to enjoy your daily activities without discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Bridges
How long does a dental bridge last?
Dental bridges typically last between 5 to 15 years, depending on the material used and how well you care for them. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene can help extend their lifespan.
Is getting a dental bridge painful?
The procedure for placing a dental bridge is generally not painful. Local anesthesia is used to ensure you are comfortable during tooth preparation. You may experience some mild discomfort afterward, which usually subsides quickly.
How do I care for my dental bridge?
Caring for a dental bridge involves regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits. Special cleaning aids like floss threaders or interdental brushes may be recommended to clean around the bridge.
Will a dental bridge look natural?
Yes, dental bridges are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. We use high-quality materials and color-matching techniques to ensure that your bridge looks and feels natural.
How long does the dental bridge process take?
The process of getting a dental bridge usually involves two visits: one for tooth preparation and impressions, and another for the final placement of the bridge. Each visit typically lasts about 1 to 2 hours.
