Missing teeth can impact both the appearance of your smile and your ability to chew or speak comfortably. Dr. Navid Baradarian DDS offers custom dental bridges in Boca Raton and Boynton Beach, FL, to help you regain a complete, natural-looking smile and improve oral function.
Dental bridges are prosthetic devices used to fill the gap created by one or more missing teeth. They consist of one or more artificial teeth, called pontics, that are anchored in place by natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap. Bridges are custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless look and feel.
Restores Functionality: Bridges allow you to chew, speak, and smile naturally, restoring normal oral function.
Improves Appearance: Custom bridges are crafted to blend with your natural teeth, creating a complete, confident smile.
Prevents Shifting: Filling the gap left by missing teeth helps prevent neighboring teeth from shifting out of place, which can lead to bite issues and further tooth loss.
Supports Facial Structure: By maintaining proper spacing between teeth, bridges help preserve your facial shape and prevent the sunken look that can occur with missing teeth.
Initial Consultation: During your first visit, Dr. Navid Baradarian will perform a comprehensive examination of your teeth and gums, using advanced imaging to assess your specific needs.
Preparation: The teeth adjacent to the gap (abutment teeth) are prepared to support the bridge. This involves reshaping these teeth to allow the bridge to fit securely.
Impression Taking: An impression of your teeth is taken to create a precise mold for your custom dental bridge. This mold is sent to a dental laboratory where your bridge will be crafted.
Temporary Bridge Placement: While your custom bridge is being created, a temporary bridge may be placed to protect your teeth and gums.
Bridge Fitting and Adjustment: Once the custom bridge is ready, Dr. Baradarian will fit and adjust it to ensure it fits comfortably and looks natural.
Final Placement: The bridge is permanently cemented or attached to the abutment teeth or implants, restoring your smile and function.
