What Is Fixed Bridge Surgery?

A dental bridge comprises durable, safe-for-use material that looks and feels like natural teeth. Before fixed dental surgery, our team assesses and preps the teeth near your tooth gap. Then, we make a precise mold of your mouth to formulate your implant. Once the implant is created, we firmly anchor it to your tooth gap and secure it in place. Depending on the circumstances, we may put in a temporary bridge while awaiting your permanent one. Have questions? Please feel free to reach out to us.

FAQ

For individuals to be suitable candidates for dental bridges, they should have one or more missing teeth due to extraction or natural loss. Additionally, there must be two healthy and robust teeth on either side of the gap where the missing teeth were. If these adjacent teeth show signs of weakness or potential future treatments like root canal therapy, they may not be suitable for supporting a traditional dental bridge. The concern is that weakened teeth could risk infection or diminished strength over time, compromising their ability to support the bridge effectively.
