Porcelain Bridges in St. Augustine, FL
Smile to the fullest!
Missing teeth can interfere with your bite, self-esteem, and even your jawbone health. If you have missing teeth, and you are looking for a dentist to place a dental bridge near St. Augustine, FL, Dr. Jeremy Gordon is the doctor you want to see. A dental bridge serves as both a functional and cosmetic solution to missing teeth. If you are afraid to show your smile because of missing teeth, a dental bridge may offer the answer you have been looking for.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A fixed dental bridge is an appliance that is custom made to fill the gap where a tooth has gone missing. Typically the anchoring sides are made of metal and the prosthetic tooth that is seen is made of porcelain. The complete placement procedure requires the abutting teeth to be covered with a dental crown and the bridge be adhered to the capped teeth, filling the gap. If you have lost teeth due to decay, trauma, or extraction and you wish to have a complete smile again, Dr. Gordon can discuss the option of a fixed dental bridge.
How Will a Porcelain Bridge Help Me?
A porcelain dental bridge in St Augustine, FL can improve your health and your confidence to smile. A bridge will:
- Close the gap in your smile
- Help with speaking and eating
- Provide support to your facial shape
- Support the underlying jaw bone
The bridge will not only bring your smile back to its full and beautiful state, but it will provide support to the facial structures surrounding the bridge. You will have less trouble speaking properly and eating your favorite foods. Because the bridge will likely be fixed in place, you will not need to worry about it shifting or slipping.
The procedure may take multiple appointments to complete. In the first appointment, Dr. Gordon will prepare the abutting teeth and place their crowns. He will also take a mold of the location to send to the dental lab for the creation of your custom fitting bridge. You will return for another appointment where Dr. Gordon will bond the new bridge in place.
Once complete you will be able to smile with brand new self-confidence!
