  1. Step-by-Step: How a Dental Bridge Is Placed Understanding the Process of Restoring Your Smile

  2. What Is a Dental Bridge? • A dental bridge is a prosthetic used to replace one or more missing teeth. • It typically consists of one or more artificial teeth anchored by crowns on adjacent natural teeth or implants. • Bridges help restore appearance, function, and prevent teeth from shifting.

  3. Step 1 – Tooth Preparation • The first step in the dental bridge procedure is preparing the teeth on either side of the gap. • These adjacent teeth, called abutments, are reshaped to support crowns. • Impressions are taken to ensure a precise fit for the bridge.

  4. Step 2 – Temporary Bridge and Final Placement • A temporary bridge is placed to protect the area while the permanent bridge is being made. • At the next appointment, the custom bridge is fitted, adjusted for bite and comfort, and then permanently cemented in place.

  5. Aftercare and Consultation • Good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups will help extend the life of your bridge. • To ensure proper placement and long-lasting results, consult a trusted prosthodontist near Kuykendahl Rd, Tomball, TX 77375 who specializes in bridge restorations.
