Dental Bridge in
Brandon, MS

A dental bridge is a popular and effective solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. This restorative dental procedure involves creating a "bridge" by placing artificial teeth, known as pontics, in the gap left by missing teeth. These pontics are anchored in place by crowns attached to the natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap.

At Burke Dental Group, Dr. Amanda Burke uses high-quality materials to ensure that your dental bridge looks natural and blends seamlessly with your existing teeth. This treatment not only restores your smile but also helps maintain the structure of your face and prevents other teeth from shifting out of place.

Why Should I Get a Dental Bridge?

Opting for a dental bridge offers numerous advantages beyond just filling a gap in your smile. Missing teeth can lead to a host of oral health issues, such as misaligned teeth, difficulty chewing, and even speech problems. By choosing a dental bridge, you can prevent these issues and enjoy a fully functional set of teeth.

Additionally, a dental bridge can improve your confidence and self-esteem by restoring your smile to its full glory. At Burke Dental Group in Brandon, MS, Dr. Amanda Burke and her team are dedicated to providing personalized care that meets your unique dental needs.

The Dental Bridge Treatment Process

Initial Consultation

During your first visit to Burke Dental Group, Dr. Amanda Burke will conduct a thorough examination of your oral health. This includes taking X-rays and impressions of your teeth to determine the best type of bridge for your needs. She will discuss your options and help you make an informed decision about your treatment plan.

Preparation of Abutment Teeth

In the next step, the abutment teeth, which are the teeth adjacent to the gap, are prepared. This involves reshaping these teeth to accommodate the crowns that will hold the bridge in place. Dr. Burke will ensure that this process is as comfortable as possible, using local anesthesia to numb the area.

Placement of the Bridge

Once the abutment teeth are prepared, impressions are taken to create a custom bridge that fits perfectly. A temporary bridge may be placed while your permanent bridge is being crafted. Once ready, Dr. Burke will carefully fit and adjust your new bridge, ensuring a perfect fit for your bite and comfort.
