Missing teeth can significantly impact your smile, confidence, and oral health. Dr. Michael Leuchtmann and Dr. Grace Sutter provide expertly crafted dental bridges to restore your complete smile and improve your quality of life. Our custom bridges seamlessly replace missing teeth while preserving your natural facial structure and bite function.
Transform Your Smile with Custom Dental Bridges
Dental bridges offer numerous benefits beyond simply filling gaps in your smile. These permanent restorations prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of position, which can lead to bite problems and additional tooth loss. Bridges also restore proper chewing function, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods again. Additionally, they support your facial muscles and maintain your natural face shape, preventing the sunken appearance that often occurs with missing teeth. Unlike removable partial dentures, bridges are fixed in place, providing stability and confidence in social and professional situations.
The Dental Bridge Process at Our Practice
Creating your custom dental bridges typically requires two comfortable appointments. During the first visit, we will carefully prepare the adjacent teeth that will support your bridge, then takes precise impressions to ensure a perfect fit. A temporary bridge protects your teeth while our skilled dental laboratory crafts your permanent restoration. At your second appointment, we remove the temporary bridge and carefully place your new permanent bridge, making any necessary adjustments for optimal comfort and function. Our team uses advanced materials and techniques to ensure your bridge looks natural and lasts for many years with proper care.
