At Mooring Dental, we understand how missing teeth can impact both the function and appearance of your smile. If you’re missing one or more teeth, a dental bridge may be the ideal solution to restore your smile and prevent further dental issues. Our team, led by Dr. Sean Mooring, provides high-quality, durable bridges that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, helping you regain your confidence and oral health.
A dental bridge may be the right choice if you’re experiencing any of the following:
If you have one or more missing teeth, a dental bridge can effectively fill the gap and restore your smile’s completeness.
Missing teeth can make it hard to chew your food properly or speak clearly. A dental bridge can restore your ability to eat and speak comfortably.
When teeth are missing, the surrounding teeth may shift out of alignment. A dental bridge helps maintain proper alignment and prevents further dental issues.
If you feel self-conscious about gaps in your smile, a dental bridge can enhance your appearance and boost your confidence.
Restoring your smile with a dental bridge is a straightforward process. Here’s what you can expect:
Dr. Mooring will begin with a consultation to assess your oral health and discuss whether a dental bridge is the best solution for you.
If a bridge is recommended, the teeth adjacent to the gap are reshaped to accommodate crowns that will support the bridge. If dental implants are needed, Dr. Mooring will discuss this option with you.
A digital impression of your teeth will be taken using advanced 3D scanning technology—no messy materials required. This ensures that your custom bridge fits perfectly.
We use high-quality materials to craft your bridge, often utilizing CEREC technology to ensure precision and durability.
Once your custom bridge is ready, it is securely placed over the prepared teeth or attached to implants, filling in the gap and restoring your smile.
Dr. Mooring will make any necessary adjustments to ensure your bridge fits comfortably and functions properly.
We offer different types of dental bridges to meet your specific needs:
These are supported by crowns placed on the teeth adjacent to the gap and are the most common type of dental bridge.
Used when only one adjacent tooth is available for support, this type of bridge is anchored by a single crown.
