Portland Dental Bridges: Repair the Gap
from Missing Teeth
Achieve a seamless, long-lasting smile with South Waterfront Dental
Is there something missing from your smile?
Gaps from lost teeth can affect both your confidence and your ability to chew and speak. Over time, neighboring teeth may shift out of alignment, further complicating oral health and function. Fortunately, there’s a long-lasting solution.
Portland dental bridges: Restoring your smile with confidence
South Waterfront Dental offers Portland dental bridges, which are fixed, nonremovable appliances that securely fill the gap left by one or more missing teeth. Custom-crafted to blend with your natural teeth, our dental bridges restore both the functionality and aesthetics of your smile.
Getting a permanent dental bridge is a straightforward, two-visit procedure:
1st visit: Preparation and temporary bridge placement
- Tooth preparation: We gently reshape two teeth, removing a small amount of enamel, to serve as anchors. This creates a secure surface for crowns that will hold the bridge.
- Accurate impressions: We take a highly accurate mold of your teeth and send it to a professional dental laboratory. The lab technician uses this mold to custom-craft your durable, high-quality bridge.
- Temporary placement: To protect the prepared teeth while the lab makes your permanent bridge, a process that takes a couple of weeks, we custom-fit and cement a temporary bridge into place.
2nd visit: Final bridge placement
- Fit and adjustment: We carefully check your permanent bridge for fit, bite alignment, and color match with your surrounding natural teeth.
- Final cementation: Once we confirm all adjustments and the bridge is comfortable, we securely cement it onto the anchoring teeth, providing a permanent, fixed solution to your missing teeth.
- Care instructions: You'll receive instructions on proper brushing and flossing to ensure the longevity of your new, natural-looking bridge.
