In the subsequent visit, the dentist places the bridge, checking the fit, aesthetics, and bite. Once the dentist ensures the bridge fits perfectly, it is permanently cemented into place, effectively closing the gap and restoring the patient’s smile.

Dental bridges can be made from various materials including porcelain, ceramic, metal alloys, or a combination of these materials. The choice of material depends on factors such as the location of the bridge, the patient’s aesthetic preferences, and the functional requirements of the replacement teeth.

Proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups are essential for the long-term success of dental bridges. With proper care, dental bridges can last for many years, providing a durable and functional solution for missing teeth.

A dental bridge offers a practical and effective way to replace missing teeth, restoring both oral function and aesthetics.  If you have missing teeth and are considering dental bridges, call to set an appointment with us at Linglestown Family Dental in Harrisburg, PA.  We will assess your specific needs and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.
