Bridges

If you are missing one or more teeth, one option for replacement, used for many years in dentistry, is the fixed bridge. A fixed bridge is a porcelain appliance that replaces one or more missing teeth in a row. If you need a bridge, expect from two to three appointments to complete the procedure.

Your first visit will involve preparing the one or two teeth on either side of the gap in your smile. These prepared teeth will hold abutment crowns to secure your permanent bridge in place. We will also take an impression to send to our dental lab where a ceramist will create your natural looking bridge. Your follow-up visits will entail placing the abutment crowns and the bridge, then making sure that your teeth come together comfortably and correctly.

A full, comfortable smile will make you feel good about your image and make life a little easier. Don't live with missing teeth when a custom, fixed bridge is only a phone call away. Call Elmbrook Family Dental now to schedule a consultation with Dr. Schwartz, Dr. Brunner or Dr. Neuschaefer. Our Brookside dental office is convenient for patients from across the Milwaukee area.
