Dental Bridge – Round Rock, TX

An Effective Way to Restore Missing Teeth

If just two or more teeth are missing consecutively, it’s enough to cause some serious problems to arise. For example, the surrounding teeth can begin to shift or tip in an attempt to re-establish the missing tension. As a result, there can be poor occlusion (bite) and a greater chance of gum infection. Thankfully, when you have a dental bridge placed at Chisholm Trail Dental Health, you can rest assured that Dr. Asay will leave you with teeth that perform and look better!

Why Choose Chisholm Trail Dental Health for a Dental Bridge?

What is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge works to fill a void that consecutively missing teeth once occupied. This is accomplished by two or more tooth-colored porcelain crown restorations being affixed to a single appliance. Then, by being securely placed, it restores the tension that your teeth rely on to maintain their position. The dental bridge also helps to prevent any further shifting and to allow for the normal function of your teeth again.

When you visit our Round Rock office, the current condition of your smile will be evaluated to determine whether a dental bridge is the right fit, and the parameters of the procedure will be further explained to ensure you’re as informed and comfortable as possible.

How the Dental Bridge Process Works

Dr. Asay will place your new bridge through a two-visit procedure that includes the following steps:

The Benefits of Receiving a Dental Bridge

As previously mentioned, once your dental bridge in Round Rock is placed, you can again maintain a normal diet. It will also slow down the jawbone degeneration that is typical with prolonged tooth loss.

When it comes to aesthetics, you’ll experience a major boost in your self-esteem, so don’t be alarmed if you find yourself randomly smiling for no reason.

While these perks are definitely a huge plus, there’s a way to take your experience to an even higher level: with the placement of an implant-retained bridge.

What to Expect from an Implant-Retained Bridge

With this option, Dr. Asay will first surgically place a cylinder-shaped titanium post. Then, instead of the surrounding teeth acting as anchors, another titanium component is screwed into the implant to act as the abutment.

The dental bridge is later affixed to the same to provide a sound and lasting fixture that allows you to enjoy an even more functional, natural and symmetrical smile.

Having a full set of teeth is vital to maintaining your oral health. With the expert care of your dentist in Round Rock and the rest of the Chisholm Trail Dental Health team, you’ll be back on track before you know it!
