Dental Bridges

A lost tooth can change the entire appearance of your mouth. You may not only be left with a gap, but your other teeth may begin to shift and tilt into the space left behind. Teeth can be lost for many reasons, including accidents, dental decay or gum disease. If you have lost a tooth or had a tooth extracted, our Beverly Hills dental bridges specialist can help you explore your options.

Dental bridges are one of the more popular options for tooth replacement. They use a prosthetic tooth supported by dental crowns to maintain the space so that the remaining teeth cannot shift or tilt and so that the function and appearance of your mouth can be preserved. If you are missing a tooth or teeth, our specialist for dental bridges in Beverly Hills can help you determine if you are a candidate for dental bridges.

Expert in Dental Bridges Beverly Hills

At your initial appointment, our Beverly Hills dental bridges specialist will evaluate your smile. The teeth adjacent to the gap will be examined carefully to ensure their health. If there is any decay or damage, root canal treatment may be recommended to ensure a safer, healthier procedure. Dental impressions will be taken in order to create an attractive, functional restoration, and then our specialist for dental bridges in Beverly Hills will prepare the abutment teeth. These teeth will have crowns on them, which will support the dental bridge. They are generally shaped and contoured, and a temporary bridge and crowns are placed upon them until the permanent dental bridge is ready to be placed.

When your permanent restoration is complete, you will return to have it placed on your teeth. Our Beverly Hills dentist will bond it permanently, where it will provide you with an attractive solution to your restoration needs. Regular brushing, flossing and routine dental care can help extend the life of your bridge and keep your teeth strong and healthy. Contact us today to learn more or to schedule your consultation.
