Dental Bridges in Conyers, GA

If you have missing teeth, they can cause problems that aren't merely cosmetic, like allowing other teeth to shift out of place. This can cause more tension on your teeth, pain when eating, or trouble speaking. A bridge improves the health and appearance of your mouth by filling in gaps using a false tooth that is held in place by either your natural teeth, dental implants, or both. Our skilled team of board-certified doctors and dental professionals offers custom dental bridges made with the finest porcelain material to help repair your smile. If you have gaps in your smile, schedule a consultation at MINT dentistry in Conyers, GA to get more information about your tooth replacement options with dental bridges. Custom dental bridges can restore your oral health and give you a stunning smile.

Patients with missing teeth often believe it is only a cosmetic concern. However, there are several consequences that one or more missing teeth will have on your dental health. Your teeth are carefully balanced so a missing tooth will affect the function of your mouth, as well as your overall health. In time, a large gap can cause your teeth to shift, creating bite misalignment, as well as bone atrophy. To support the restoration, your nearby teeth must be strong and surrounded by healthy gums and adequate bone levels. In cases where several teeth are missing, a set of dental implants may be placed to provide support for the bridge. The team of professionals at MINT dentistry will assess your teeth at your examination and consultation to help us create a customized plan for treatment to help you restore your smile.

To begin your appointment, you will be invited to relax in a luxurious massage treatment chair. Once you've put on a pair of Beats headphones and MINT sunglasses, the selected areas of your mouth will be anesthetized to keep you comfortable. Stronger sedation methods may be added to address anxiety, fear, or a strong gag reflex. As soon as your mouth is ready, your MINT dentistry team will prep the support teeth. An impression of the area will then be taken and forwarded to a dental laboratory where your bridge will be crafted. A temporary restoration can be placed while your custom bridge is completed. When your restoration is done, we will schedule an appointment to place your bridge. Your bridge will either be cemented in place or attached to dental implants based on the support selected at your initial consultation. We will adjust the fit of your bridge to make sure it fits properly.

When your bridge is placed, you should notice a vast improvement in the appearance of your smile and the function of your mouth. If your teeth feel off in the weeks after the initial placement, you may need a follow-up. Your team will demonstrate how to maintain your new restoration, including how to properly clean it. It's important to keep your mouth and bridge clean since tooth decay can still develop on the teeth supporting your restoration. With proper dental care, your bridge may help for many years. We recommend that you continue to schedule regular visits at MINT dentistry in Conyers, GA for your annual dental examination and biannual dental cleanings. During your exams, our team will assess the health and wear of your restoration.

The cost of your dental bridge and restoration may be partially covered by dental insurance. Our MINT dentistry team will contact your insurance to determine your coverage and any remaining costs. Our Conyers, GA office accepts many payment methods, including low-interest financing, which will be explained during your first appointment. Your dentist will help you choose the correct type and material of bridge to fit both your budget and needs. MINT dentistry is dedicated to using the highest quality materials available to make restorations that look seamless and attractive.

A gap in your smile can cause long-term complications if not addressed. Schedule a consultation with our talented dental team to learn more about custom restorations and all the options that will match your goals.
