Dental Bridges in Moorpark, CA, for Your Perfect Smile

Quality Care from Experienced Dentists

A bridge is a restorative device that’s designed to close a gap between two teeth. It simply replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth affixed with a metal framework or cemented as a crown. If you’ve lost a tooth or had a tooth extraction, you can have a bridge affixed to the surrounding teeth to fill that gap, provide functionality, and complete your smile. Bridges can also be used to improve your bite or support the shape of your face. If you’re considering dental bridges in Moorpark, CA, our experienced dentists are ready to help!

Is a Bridge Right for Me?

Unlike dentures, bridges are designed to fill a gap between two teeth. If you are missing teeth and experience issues with chewing or speaking, or just want to improve your smile without opting for dentures or dental implants, a bridge might be the perfect option for you. The process is simple and results in a beautiful, complete smile!

Types of Bridges and the Process

Bridges are made of gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials. They can either be fixed (permanently attached to the teeth) or removable. Which bridge you opt for depends on your preference and the results of your consultation with our dentist. Fixed bridges can only be removed by a dentist, while removable bridges give you the ability to remove and clean around them.

The bridge will be attached to the surrounding teeth. First, the teeth adjacent to the gap will be prepared to have the bridge affixed. They’ll be smoothed down to create better anchors for the bridge, and crowned, if needed. Our dentist will take an impression of the area and have the bridge made in a lab. In the meantime, you will wear a temporary device to protect your teeth. When the bridge is ready, our dentist will affix it to the adjacent teeth to bridge the gap, and your smile will be complete!

Aftercare for Dental Bridges

Bridges may take some getting used to. Make sure to brush and floss regularly and be careful when getting used to your new teeth.

With a removable bridge, our dentist will advise you to leave it in for a set amount of time before removing it. You may also be advised to chew soft foods and avoid excess pressure on the bridge. It may be uncomfortable at first, but your mouth should adjust over time and you’ll notice improvements in chewing, speaking, and of course, your smile!

With good care, dental bridges can last for decades. Additionally, we offer a 5-year guarantee on dental bridge work as long as aftercare recommendations are followed.
