Dental Bridges in Lynn, MA
Missing one or more teeth? A dental bridge may be the right solution for you. At Lynn Dental your trusted Dentist in Lynn we use high-quality dental bridges to restore your smile, improve your bite, and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of place.
A dental bridge literally ‘bridges’ the gap left by missing teeth. It uses crowns placed on the healthy teeth on either side of the gap as anchors, with a natural-looking artificial tooth (or teeth) suspended in between.
Types of Dental Bridges We Offer
- Traditional Bridges : The most common type; two crowns anchor a pontic (false tooth) between them
- Cantilever Bridges : Used when there is only one natural tooth adjacent to the gap
- Maryland Bridges : A conservative option using a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the backs of adjacent teeth
- Implant-Supported Bridges : Anchored by dental implants for maximum stability and longevity
The Bridge Procedure at Lynn Dental
Initial Consultation & Evaluation
During your first visit, our dental team will carefully examine your teeth, bite, and overall oral health to determine whether a dental bridge is the right solution for your smile. We’ll discuss your treatment goals, answer any questions you may have, and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Bridge Preparation
If a dental bridge is recommended, the supporting teeth will be prepared to create a stable foundation for the restoration. Detailed impressions or digital scans will be taken to ensure a precise fit. A temporary restoration may be placed to protect the prepared teeth and maintain your smile while your custom bridge is being crafted.
Final Bridge Placement
Once your custom dental bridge is ready, you’ll return to our office for the final placement. The bridge will be carefully fitted, adjusted for comfort and function, and securely bonded into place. After confirming a natural appearance and proper bite alignment, you’ll be able to enjoy improved chewing ability, speech, and confidence in your smile.
