Dental Bridges in Georgetown, KY | Georgetown Sedation Dentistry

When you're missing teeth, it can affect your appearance and your ability to eat and speak with ease. At our office, our team creates custom dental bridges to fill those gaps and restore your smile's natural beauty.

What is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a restoration that can address the space created by one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth, called pontics, which are held in position by crowns connected to the teeth on each side of the gap.

Traditional bridges are the most common type, using crowns on adjacent teeth to support the pontic. On the other hand, implant-supported bridges are anchored to dental implants in your jawbone. Bridges can also be removable or fixed depending on your preferences.

How Are Dental Bridges Made?

After we examine your teeth and gums, we prepare the teeth next to the gap by removing a small amount of enamel to make room for the crowns.

Our team uses in-house technology to take digital impressions of your smile and create a custom restoration. Finally, we make any necessary adjustments to make your new teeth fit. If the bridge is permanent, we fix it in place using adhesives.
