Expert in Dental Bridges

Losing a tooth is a common problem for many of those over the age of 35. Even though today’s preventive care has made great strides in protecting dental health, long-standing problems can result in the loss of a tooth, such as periodontal disease and tooth decay. If you have lost a tooth, Dr. Martirosyan, our Glendale dental bridges dentist, may recommend replacing it with a dental bridge.

A bridge usually consists of a pontic, or false tooth, that is supported by two crowns. The two crowns are typically placed on abutment teeth next to the gap. In some cases, they may also be placed on dental implants, which is more likely if several teeth are missing. Dr. Martirosyan, our expert in dental bridges in Glendale, may recommend porcelain for the most natural-looking results. However, bridges can also be made from alloys or metal that is fused to porcelain.

Glendale Dental Bridges

Dental bridges offer many benefits. They restore your ability to speak and chew, as well as restore your smile attractively. They help distribute bite forces evenly, which reduces the risk of damage to other teeth. They also keep the remaining teeth properly positioned, and traditional fixed bridges are the most common type of bridges. Dr. Martirosyan, our Glendale dental bridges dentist, can help you decide if a bridge is right for you.

The process of getting a bridge is similar to the process of getting crowns. First, our expert in dental bridges in Glendale will numb the treatment area so that we can prepare the abutment teeth. A portion of enamel is removed from the abutments teeth to reshape them and allow more room for the crowns of the bridge. Next, dental impressions will be made to serve as the model for your new bridge. A temporary bridge will be placed to fill the gap and protect your teeth while you wait for the final bridge to be finished. This permanent bridge will then be bonded securely to your teeth at the next appointment.
