Bridges

At Merion Village Dental, we can apply custom dental bridges to dependably restore the function and beauty of your smile.

Dental bridges are commonly used to replace 1 or 2 missing teeth at a time, and are supported by tooth-colored porcelain crowns on the adjacent sides. Bonded into place, dental bridges provide a long-lasting, durable solution to restore smiles to their natural looking state.

We may recommend a dental bridge if you experience:

• Missing teeth due to severe decay
• A need for a restorative device following an implant procedure
• Teeth that have been damaged due to impact or trauma
• A sunken face structure due to multiple missing teeth
• Multiple teeth that exhibit cracking or other weakened characteristics

What to expect during your bridge treatment.

In order to determine if a dental bridge is the appropriate solution for you, our dental team will ensure you are informed of all restorative options and considerations. Once we have determined that a bridge is the best treatment for you, we’ll prepare your healthy teeth for the support of the bridge. An impression will be taken of the area, which is then used to create a customized bridge that fits your smile precisely. Shade selection insures that the bridge will blend in with the rest of your smile. Within 10-14 days, your permanent bridge will be ready for placement at a short, 2nd visit.
