Dental Bridges Cincinnati, OH

Dental gaps do not just cause problems cosmetically; they can cause other teeth to become misaligned. This can result in more tension in your mouth, discomfort when eating, or even speech impairment. A dental bridge improves the appearance and health of your mouth by covering gaps using a false tooth that is supported by your natural teeth, dental implants, or both. Our skilled team of doctors and dental professionals at MINT dentistry offers dental bridges made from the finest porcelain to restore your smile. If you have gaps in your smile, schedule a consultation at MINT dentistry in Cincinnati, OH to get more information about your tooth replacement options with dental bridges. Our custom dental bridges can rejuvenate your health and give you a luminous smile.

Often, it is believed that a missing tooth only affects someone cosmetically. However, there are many consequences that one or more missing teeth will have on your dental health. Your mouth is carefully balanced, so gaps from missing teeth can affect the health and function of your mouth. Over time, a significant gap can allow your teeth to shift, leading to dental malocclusion and bone atrophy. To support the bridge, your nearby teeth should be firm and surrounded by ample bone tissue and healthy gums. If multiple teeth are missing, a series of dental implants may be placed to support the bridge. MINT dentistry's team of professionals will check your mouth during your exam and consultation, so we can develop a customized plan for treatment to help you rejuvenate your smile and health.

When you arrive for your appointment, you will relax in one of our massaging treatment chairs. After putting on a pair of our MINT sunglasses and Beats headphones, certain areas of your mouth will be numbed with local anesthesia to keep you comfortable. Other sedation methods may be added upon request if you have any dental anxieties or a strong gag reflex. As soon as your mouth is ready, our MINT team will prepare the support teeth. A quick impression of the treatment site will then be captured and shared with a lab where your restoration will be fabricated. A temporary bridge or restoration can be placed while your custom bridge is completed. When your bridge is sent back to our lab, your procedure will be scheduled by our support staff. The bridge will either attach to the implant posts or be cemented to the surrounding teeth based on the option selected during your initial consultation. A member of our team will carefully adjust the fit of your restoration so it feels right in your mouth and remains in place.

You should notice a dramatic improvement in the appearance of your smile and the functionality of your teeth. You may need a follow-up if your teeth feel off following the placement. Our team will demonstrate how to care for your bridge, including how to clean it. Keeping your bridge and mouth clean is crucial since cavities can still form on the teeth supporting your restoration. With proper care, your restoration may last for a long time. We recommend that you continue to schedule appointments at MINT dentistry in Cincinnati, OH for your yearly oral exam and twice-yearly dental cleanings. At your check-ups, we will monitor the condition of your bridge.

Dental insurance may cover a portion of the cost of custom bridges. A member of our MINT dentistry staff will contact your insurance company to understand your coverage and any out-of-pocket expenses. Our Cincinnati, OH office accepts multiple forms of payment, including medical financing, which will be discussed during your consultation. We will help you select the best bridge type and material to fit your goals and budget. MINT dentistry is dedicated to using the highest quality porcelain material available to provide restorations that look natural and beautiful.

If you have a missing tooth or teeth and do not get it fixed, it can progress into further issues that are more complex and harder to resolve.

Our team is proud to use high-quality dental restorations that can improve your oral health and appearance. Contact MINT dentistry in Cincinnati, OH to arrange a consultative appointment.
