Dental bridges provide an optimal solution for missing teeth, and at Carolina Center for Advanced Dentistry, our Grand Strand dental bridge dentists have years of experience helping patients restore beauty and functionality to their smiles with benefits including:

• Restoration of chewing and speaking abilities
• Restoration of aesthetic beauty
• Maintaining the shape of your face and jaw
• Preventing adjacent teeth from drifting out of position
• Eliminating the need for removal of partial dentures

The process for dental bridges takes two office visits. During your initial visit, one of our dentists will prepare your teeth, which requires re-contouring the teeth to make space for the porcelain dental crowns that will comprise your bridge. We will then take an impression of your teeth to serve as a model for the creation of your crowns. We will produce a temporary bridge for you to wear during the time your permanent crowns are created.

During your second office visit, we will remove your temporary bridge, and replace it with the bridge created by our dental lab partners. This safe and relatively noninvasive procedure produces long lasting, beautiful results that will allow you to face the world with a smile as strong as it is appealing.

Dental bridges are permanent, but will require proper care and maintenance to last their longest. Fortunately, caring for your bridge is as easy as caring for your natural teeth. A proper at-home oral hygiene routine of brushing and flossing twice daily, combined with a minimum of twice yearly visits to our office for cleanings and examinations will help ensure your bridges last for years to come.
