Dental bridges are used to replace missing teeth. A traditional bridge is made by creating a crown for each tooth on both sides of the space and placing a false tooth between the crowns. The crowns can be supported by natural teeth or by dental implants. When the crowns are placed, the false tooth fills the space left by the missing tooth or teeth.

Just like getting a dental crown, it all starts with the oral examination and X-rays.  Dr.Sooparb will examine the health of your gums and other teeth to evaluate if you are a candidate for a dental bridge. If you are a candidate for a dental bridge, you are given a local anesthetic he can prepare the teeth required to support the bridge. The impressions of your teeth will then be taken and sent to the lab. These impressions will be used to fabricate your dental bridge. While your bridge is being fabricated, Dr.Sooparb will fit you with a temporary bridge so the teeth and gums can be protected from damage until your permanent bridge is ready.

On your second appointment, the temporary bridge will be removed. Your new permanent bridge will be fitted and checked and adjusted for any bite discrepancies. Your new bridge will then be cemented to your teeth.
