Bridges

Dental bridges are a great way to replace missing teeth. Your existing teeth are used to literally create a bridge to cross the area where your tooth is missing. Bridges are made from gold, metal, alloys, or porcelain to ensure that they are strong and durable.

The process of creating a bridge begins by creating abutments out of your existing teeth where the bridge will be attached. The existing teeth are recontoured to provide a base for the bridge. After the abutments have been created, a mold is taken of the area which is sent to a dental lab. The lab is able to use the mold to create a bridge that will fit properly and feel as close to your natural teeth as possible. The bridge consists of two crowns on either end to place on the abutments and a pontic, which is the new tooth that replaces your missing tooth.

We will fit you with a temporary bridge while we wait for the lab to craft your permanent bridge. This will protect the abutments and the exposed gum areas and look more appealing than having a missing tooth. When the permanent bridge has been created, you will have a follow up visit to set the bridge. It will be placed on the abutments and the dentist will then use an adhesive to make sure that the bridge is set.

The bridge may take a little while to get used to, but after a few days it should feel like you have your own teeth back again. You should eat soft foods for the first few days after having your bridge placed. After the initial phase, you will be able to eat whatever you want with no issues.

If you are missing a tooth you should strongly consider having it replaced. Besides the aesthetic disadvantage of missing a tooth, it could also cause structural changes to your mouth and jaw, as well as making it difficult to eat or speak properly.

  • "I have been going here since I was a little girl. I stopped while I was in the Marine Corps, but now that I have finished my time in service I needed a dentist again. So I chose to go back to what felt comfortable! I was originally always seen by Dr. Nelson Sanders, but now his daughter has come into the family business and she took good care of me. I am glad that I will continue seeing a dentist that I feel comfortable and safe with!"

  • "Both Lindsey and Dr. Sanders are amazing! I went to them after being told elsewhere I was going to need over 10k in dental work. They worked with me to make a plan that made better sense and was way more affordable. I have always HATED going to the dentist, but these two, and their nurse Michelle, are the best around. I'm so glad I found them and their practice."

  • "I was searching for a new dentist to go to and found Dr. Sanders through online searching and decided to check them out. I already went through a cleaning and a couple of fillings and a deep clean in one area that I had sensitivity, and after receiving that care and getting to know both Lindsey and Nelson Sanders, these guys are really awesome and love the work they do. Everyone is so professional and loving and caring and they do absolutely wonderful dental work. I would recommend this place to anyone."
