Dental Bridges

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.

Do I Need a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge may be the right choice if you’re experiencing any of the following:

Missing Teeth

If you have one or more missing teeth, a dental bridge can effectively fill the gap and restore your smile’s completeness.

Difficulty Chewing or Speaking

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.

Preventing Shifting

When teeth are missing, the surrounding teeth may shift out of alignment. A dental bridge helps maintain proper alignment and prevents further dental issues.

Aesthetic Concerns

If you feel self-conscious about gaps in your smile, a dental bridge can enhance your appearance and boost your confidence.

How Dental Bridges Work

Restoring your smile with a dental bridge is a straightforward process. Here’s what you can expect:

Consultation

Dr. Mooring will begin with a consultation to assess your oral health and discuss whether a dental bridge is the best solution for you.

Preparation

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.

Impression

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.

Fabrication

We use high-quality materials to craft your bridge, often utilizing CEREC technology to ensure precision and durability.

Placement

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.

Final Adjustments

Dr. Mooring will make any necessary adjustments to ensure your bridge fits comfortably and functions properly.

Types of Dental Bridges

We offer different types of dental bridges to meet your specific needs:

Traditional Fixed Bridges

These are supported by crowns placed on the teeth adjacent to the gap and are the most common type of dental bridge.

Cantilever Bridges

Used when only one adjacent tooth is available for support, this type of bridge is anchored by a single crown.
