At Calm Dental Studio, we believe a full, complete smile is a healthy smile. That's why we specialize in restorative dental bridges, a durable and aesthetic solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. Serving Delaware, Lewis Center, Powell, and Marion, OH, Dr. Alla and our compassionate team are dedicated to restoring the look, feel, and function of your smile with custom bridges that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
A dental bridge is a custom-made restoration used to "bridge" the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (called pontics) that are held in place by dental crowns on the natural teeth on either side of the gap. These anchoring teeth, or abutments, provide a stable foundation for the replacement teeth. Our bridges are crafted from high-quality, tooth-colored materials like porcelain and zirconia, ensuring a natural-looking and long-lasting result.
Replacing missing teeth with a dental bridge offers a wealth of benefits that enhance both your oral health and your smile's aesthetics:
A bridge fills the gap, restoring a complete and natural-looking smile.
Missing teeth can affect your ability to eat and speak properly. A bridge restores this essential function.
Missing teeth can lead to bone loss and a sunken facial appearance. A bridge helps support your facial structure.
When a tooth is lost, surrounding teeth can shift out of place, leading to bite problems. A bridge keeps your remaining teeth properly aligned.
With proper care, a dental bridge provides a strong, permanent solution for many years.
Your comfort and the final aesthetic outcome are Dr. Alla's top priorities. Here’s what you can expect during the process of getting a new dental bridge:
Dr. Alla will gently numb the area. The abutment teeth on either side of the gap are prepared by removing a small amount of enamel to make room for the crowns that will anchor the bridge.
Dr. Alla will take precise digital impressions of the prepared teeth and the gap. These impressions are sent to a dental lab to create your custom bridge.
While your permanent bridge is being crafted, we will place a comfortable temporary bridge to protect your teeth and gums.
On your second visit, Dr. Alla will remove the temporary bridge and permanently bond your new, custom-made bridge in place.
The new bridge is polished and checked to ensure it fits comfortably and looks flawless, restoring your smile’s full function and beauty.
