Dental Bridges

Don’t let a missing tooth keep you from smiling confidently. Say goodbye to the discomfort and potential problems associated with missing teeth. At our Papini Dentistry, we have the perfect solution – Dental Bridges.

Missing teeth can lead to various issues, such as teeth shifting out of position. Without a tooth serving as a placeholder, neighboring teeth may shift, affecting the alignment of your smile. Moreover, missing teeth can hinder your ability to chew, bite, and speak effectively.

While a dental crown is used to cover a single tooth, a dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth. Opting for a dental bridge offers numerous advantages, including:

• Reduced risk of gum disease
• Correction of minor bite issues
• Improved speech
• Prevention of teeth shifting

Dental bridges from our Papini Dentistry look and feel just like natural teeth and don’t move when eating or speaking, so you and others will barely notice that the bridge is there!

Firstly, our Woodbridge dentist, Dr. Papini, and her team will assess your mouth to determine if your teeth are healthy enough to support a dental bridge. If they are, she will shape the surrounding teeth to support the bridge and send impressions of your teeth to the lab. When you come back in a few weeks, our Papini dental team will install the bridge and adjust it for the most comfort. You may need to return for a few visits to ensure the bridge works and feels how it is supposed to.
