Dental Bridges in Palm Springs, CA
Building a Dental Bridge
Your dentist at the Tahquitz Dental Group Palm Springs takes precise measurements of the gap, including the teeth that will become abutment teeth and the gum tissue in between them. The abutment teeth are prepared so the bridge will adhere to them securely. Depending on the circumstances in your mouth, either an impression is taken of your teeth, or digital images and x-rays form the basis of the bridge that will be created. Color matching insures the bridge will look just like your other teeth.
Specially trained technicians in the lab use the provided information to fabricate your dental bridge. During this time, your dentist supplies you with a temporary bridge to protect your abutment teeth. When your permanent bridge is ready, your dentist invites you back for another visit. The permanent dental bridge is affixed to your abutment teeth and you have a new, functional smile!
A bridge can last a very long time, or a relatively short time, depending on proper care. Caring for your bridge – and the rest of your teeth – includes daily brushing for two minutes twice a day, along with flossing, and regular visits to the Tahquitz Dental Group Palm Springs twice a year. This helps make sure your abutment teeth do not become compromised and that the underlying gums stay healthy.
