Dental Bridges
Bridge the gap from missing teeth with dental bridges at San Andreas Family Dental in San Andreas, California. A dental bridge uses crowns on adjacent teeth to support one or more artificial teeth, restoring your ability to eat and speak properly while preventing remaining teeth from shifting out of position.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
- Restores Function — Eat and speak normally again by filling the gap
- Prevents Shifting — Keeps surrounding teeth from moving into the empty space
- Natural Appearance — Custom-made to match the color and shape of your natural teeth
- Fixed Solution — Cemented in place — no removal needed for cleaning or sleeping
What to Expect
- Step 1: Preparation — Dr. Thanh Pham prepares the anchor teeth and takes impressions
- Step 2: Temporary Bridge — A temporary bridge protects your teeth while the permanent one is crafted
- Step 3: Fitting — Your custom bridge is checked for fit and bite alignment
- Step 4: Cementation — The bridge is permanently cemented for a secure, lasting fit
