The Dental Bridge Process Explained Step by Step

In this video, Dr. Charles Pearson explains how the dental bridge process works and what happens to the teeth supporting the restoration.

For a traditional bridge, you have healthy teeth on either side of the gap. The procedure is basically the same as doing a crown. We’re reducing the dimensions of the tooth by about 1.5 millimeters all the way around to make room for that cap or crown to go over the top. The only difference is that we’re going to have two replacement teeth attached to the two crowns, and those attached teeth will fill the gap.

If you or someone you love is struggling with missing teeth, contact St. Apollonia Dental in Sterling Heights, MI, for a free consultation to learn how our restorative dental treatments can enhance your smile, improve your function, and restore your self-confidence.

The best experience I have had at the dentist. I didn’t go for years out of fear. My hygienist Lori was patient and kind going above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable. The office staff was kind and didn’t rush comimg or leaving. I will never miss another cleaning after this wonderful experience.
