Dental Bridges

Top Dentist In Cottleville, MO

Missing teeth can have a profound impact on your smile, facial appearance, bite, and overall oral health. Dental bridges provide an effective and aesthetically pleasing solution to fill the gaps and restore your smile.

What are Dental Bridges?

A dental bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth, known as pontics, held in place by dental crowns cemented onto the adjacent teeth or implants. The bridge spans the gap where teeth are missing, restoring functionality and appearance.

Types of Dental Bridges

  • Traditional Bridges: These are the most common type, made of porcelain fused to ceramics or metals.
  • Cantilever Bridges: Used when adjacent teeth are present on only one side of the gap.
  • Maryland Bonded Bridges: Supported by a metal or porcelain framework.
  • Implant-Supported Bridges: Anchored to dental implants, offering higher stability.

Why Choose a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge offers multiple benefits:

  • Aesthetic Improvement: Enhances the appearance of your smile.
  • Functional Restoration: Allows you to chew and speak normally.
  • Prevention of Misalignment: Keeps surrounding teeth from drifting out of position.
  • Facial Structure Support: Helps maintain the natural shape of your face.
  • Alleviating Bite Stress: Distributes bite force evenly across teeth.

The Process of Getting a Dental Bridge at Majestic Dental

  • Consultation and Examination: Our team will assess your dental health and determine the best type of bridge for you.
  • Preparation: Adjacent teeth are reshaped to accommodate the crowns.
  • Impressions and Temporary Bridge: Impressions are taken for the custom bridge, and a temporary bridge is placed.
  • Creation of the Bridge: Your bridge is crafted in a lab using materials like porcelain, gold, or alloys.
  • Placement and Adjustment: The temporary bridge is removed, and the permanent bridge is fitted and adjusted as necessary.
  • Follow-up Care: Regular check-ups ensure the bridge is functioning correctly.

Caring for Your Dental Bridge

With proper care, dental bridges can last over a decade. Care includes:

  • Regular Cleaning: Brushing and flossing to keep the bridge and surrounding teeth clean.
  • Professional Check-ups: Regular visits to Majestic Dental for professional cleaning and examination.
  • Avoiding Hard Foods: Being mindful of chewing habits to avoid damaging the bridge.

Are Dental Bridges Right for You?

Dental bridges can be an excellent solution for many, but they may not be suitable for everyone. Factors affecting eligibility include the health of adjacent teeth, gum health, and personal preferences. Our team at Majestic Dental is dedicated to working with you to find the best solution for your unique situation.

Dr Sanford is great, easy to talk to and explains everything very well. Their staff has been so nice and friendly, easy to work with and they do a great job following up on any open issues. One big plus is the office can make new crowns the same day. No more installing temporary crowns and having to come back on another day to get the new ones put in. Had to use this service twice! Both times it went great and the new crowns were ready to be put in place within an hour or so. Amazing!

This office helped me get over my fear and anxiety about the dentist after a terrible experience with another dentist years ago. Today on the way there I realized I wasn't fearful about my appointment at all. Melissa is a kind, gentle hygienist and all the staff are friendly. I cannot say enough good things.

I went to another dentist today because of networking and did not get the same kind of service as Majestic Dental. I’ve been going to Majestic Dental for a while and always take good care of me. They make adjustments to my needs and overall always have a positive experience. I will be call Majestic Dental for next check up! 5/5 STARS

I highly recommend Majestic Dental. I have been a patient there for many years. Jane is my hygienist and she is extremely kind, professional, hardworking, personable and answers questions very well and explains everything she is doing. Dr. Lear is an amazing Dentist who is very skilled, calming and makes you feel comfortable and at ease. I value and trust his opinion with any additional dental work I may need. The office staff is very knowledgeable and it’s easy to make appointments. Majestic Dental also has a beautiful brand new welcoming office which makes you feel comfortable as soon as you walk in. Thank you for the wonderful service I receive.

Today was my first time at this office. My insurance changed and I had to switch. Brandy was my hygienist. Even though I did not like the news, she was very kind and helped me with options. She was very pleasant to be around. Same with the dentist. He gave me several options to choose from. He was also very kind. I'd have to say A+. The office was beautiful and modern. The ladies at the front desk were also very kind. I have to say, I'm so glad my insurance changed because I didn't get options from the last dentist.

Impressive! When your super sensitive ADHD & Dyslexic & a 13 year old boy has nothing but really good things to say…. I’m in!! Charlene and Dr Sanford are incredible and I love how comfortable they make you feel. Both professionals explained step by step, that is priceless in my book and it really helps take some of the fear away, so thank you a thousand times! Miranda & Katie also took care of us on the administrative side , love the office vibes and the location , we found our new home dentist.
