A dental bridge can be used to replace a single tooth or two or more teeth next to one another. It is a fixed restoration, meaning it can be brushed just like your natural teeth and does not need to be removed to be brushed or cleaned. Normally, a bridge will last around 10 years before needing to be replaced. It consists of one or more artificial teeth and is held in place by two dental crowns that have been placed over the teeth on each end of the space in your smile.

In most cases, a bridge requires two visits to Blue Ridge Dentistry of Simpsonville. The first visit will involve preparing your teeth for the permanent crowns and taking the impressions needed to create your bridge. Once the bridge has been crafted, it will be placed during your second visit. If the time has come for you to fill out your smile, call 864-963-7237 today to make your appointment.
