Dental bridges are an excellent way to replace missing teeth, and offered here in our Penn Plaza New York city practice. A dental bridge is made up on abutments where the missing teeth are and crowns on the adjacent teeth to provide the tether to the bridge. They are completed in about 2-3 visits and give our patients the opportunity to chew and talk normally, regardless of where their missing teeth are located.
The process of getting dental bridges here by Dr. Nina Kiani, DMD is as follows:
1. The patient visits our office for a check-up and exam, and to get impressions made of the adjacent teeth.
2. These teeth may need to be prepped prior to taking impressions, such as filing them down to make room for the crowns.
3. After two weeks when the bridge is fabricated, patients return to our office to have it fitted in their mouth with strong cement.
As long as our patients have adjacent teeth on either side of the missing teeth that can withstand crowns, we are happy to provide them with bridges for their teeth that have been pulled.
