A dental bridge is a fixed oral appliance used to replace one or more missing teeth, thus bridging the gap created by those missing teeth. Crafted from durable materials, dental bridges are designed to look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth. At Harrison Family Dentists in Saratoga Springs, Dr. Alexandra Porcu & Dr. Devin Harrison provide high-quality dental bridges to restore your smile, improve your oral health, and enhance your overall quality of life.
If you're missing teeth, it's not just your smile that suffers. Missing teeth can cause a range of issues, including difficulty eating, speaking, and maintaining proper oral hygiene. Over time, this can lead to further tooth loss, gum disease, and even changes in your facial structure. Dental bridges are a reliable solution that can solve these problems. They restore the function and aesthetics of your smile, allowing you to eat, speak, and laugh with confidence again.
Dental bridges have been used for centuries to replace missing teeth, with the earliest examples dating back to ancient Egypt!

Dental bridges do more than just fill in the gaps in your smile. They restore your ability to chew and speak normally. Without a dental bridge, the remaining teeth can shift out of alignment, affecting your bite and making it difficult to eat certain foods. By replacing missing teeth with a dental bridge, you can enjoy your favorite meals without worry.
Missing teeth can lead to a host of oral health problems, including bone loss in the jaw, shifting of remaining teeth, and an increased risk of gum disease and tooth decay. Dental bridges help prevent these issues by maintaining the structure of your mouth and promoting proper oral hygiene.
A dental bridge not only improves your smile, but it also maintains the shape of your face. Missing teeth can cause your cheeks to sag, making you appear older. Dental bridges support your facial structure, helping you maintain a youthful appearance.
The first step towards getting a dental bridge is a comprehensive dental examination. Dr. Harrison or Dr. Porcu will assess your oral health, discuss your treatment options, and determine if a dental bridge is the right solution for you.
Once it's determined that a dental bridge is the best option, the dentist will prepare the teeth on either side of the gap. These teeth will serve as anchors for the bridge. An impression of your teeth will be taken to ensure the bridge fits perfectly.
After your custom dental bridge has been created, you'll return to our Saratoga Springs office for the final placement. The bridge will be adjusted as necessary to ensure a comfortable fit and then cemented into place, restoring your smile to its full glory.
