Feel great again when eating or smiling with our high-quality bridges.
How do dental bridges replace missing teeth?
A dental bridge fills a toothless gap between two healthy teeth or implants, replacing several missing teeth in a row. The bridge comprises prosthetic teeth, called pontics, which are custom-designed to fit the space left by the missing teeth. Traditional dental bridges are supported by healthy teeth (abutments) on either side of the gap. To ensure a secure fit, we place dental crowns over the abutment teeth, providing a solid foundation for the bridge and ensuring long-lasting stability.
Conventional bridges do the job, but some patients require more stability. Implant-supported bridges are more stable because they are anchored directly in the jawbone. This provides incredible stability when eating, talking, and smiling. Patients also love implant bridges because they don’t require reshaping otherwise healthy teeth.
How are dental bridges placed?
It takes 2-3 easy appointments to place a dental bridge. The first visit involves a consultation. Our experienced dentist carefully assesses your bite, the health of your surrounding teeth, and the span of the gap to design a dental bridge that balances function and durability. Techniques like using stronger materials or recommending alternatives such as implant-supported bridges can enhance the bridge’s stability and performance.
Once we devise your treatment plan, the dentist will reshape the abutment teeth to create space for supporting dental crowns. Then, we’ll take digital scans of your mouth to guide the dental lab during the fabrication of your restorations. The bridge is meticulously created to match the exact specifications of your teeth. Until your bridge and crowns are ready, the dentist will place temporary restorations on your teeth to shield them from accidents and infections.
Once we receive your bridge and crowns, you’ll come to our office for placement. After a few “try-ins” to inspect the alignment and occlusion of your teeth, we’ll bond your bridge in place, restoring your functionality and aesthetics. Many patients take a few days to adjust to dental bridges. After this period, everything will feel and look normal. It’s as if you have 100% natural teeth!

How Long Do Dental Crowns & Bridges Last?
Being a dentist at Divine Dental Center, I get that it’s pretty common for patients to worry about how long dental treatments like crowns and bridges would last. Generally speaking, if you take good care of your crown or bridge, it can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years. But here’s the thing. If you’re really on top of your oral hygiene and you don’t skip your regular dental checkups, they can last even longer, sometimes more than 20 years. Here at Divine Dental Center, we are all about crown and bridge treatments. We use top-notch materials to make sure they are durable and longlasting. We are based in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and we serve patients from all over the Middle Tennessee area. Just remember the lifespan of a crown or bridge really depends a lot on your personal oral health. Regular brushing and flossing, staring clear of hard foods that could damage the crown or bridge, and keeping up with your dental checkups are super important for keeping your dental work in good shape. We’ll be more than happy to give you more information or set up a consultation to talk about the best treatment options for you. Don’t hesitate to give us a call at 6158967274. We are here to help you keep your smile healthy and looking great.
How Dental Crowns and Bridges Improve Your Smile
As a dentist here at Divine Dental Center, I know just how vital a healthy, beautiful smile is. Our crown and bridge services can really make a difference and enhance your smile, particularly if you’re dealing with damaged or missing teeth. A dental crown is essentially a tooth-shaped cap that we place over a tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength, and to improve how it looks. It can safeguard a weak tooth from breaking or keeping together parts of cracked tooth. It’s also useful to cover a tooth with large filling when there isn’t a lot of tooth left to keep a dental bridge in place or to cover teeth that are severely discolored or misshapen. On the flip side, a dental bridge is what we use to replace worn or missing teeth. Bridges cover the space where the teeth are missing and are cemented to the natural teeth or implants around the empty space. These teeth known as abotments act as anchors for the bridge. Both crowns and bridges are fixed prosthetic devices. They are different from removable devices like dentures which you can take out and clean daily. Crowns and bridges are cemented onto existing teeth or implants and can only be removed by a dentist. Here at Divine Dental Center, we use the most up-to-date technology and materials to make sure your crowns and bridges look natural and match your existing teeth. We are proud to offer a comfortable and stress-free environment for our patients. If you’re living in or around Murphy’sboro, Tennessee or middle Tennessee, I did like to invite you to see for yourself the transformation that our crown and bridge services can bring to your smile. Feel free to give us a call at 6158967274 to arrange a consultation. We are excited to help you achieve the smile you’ve always dreamed of.
