Bridging the Gap to a Complete Smile

Dental Bridges
in Tulsa

Missing teeth can impact your confidence, oral health, and overall well-being. At Dieterlen Dental in Tulsa, OK, we offer dental bridges, also known as fixed partial dentures, as a reliable and natural-looking solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. Our experienced dentists will help you choose the right type of bridgework to restore your smile and improve your oral function.

What are Dental Bridges?

Dental bridges are custom-made dental appliances that replace missing teeth by “bridging” the gap between your remaining natural teeth or dental implants. They consist of artificial teeth (pontics) supported by abutment teeth or implants on either side of the gap.

Why Choose Dental Bridges?

Dental bridges offer several benefits:

1

Restore Chewing and Speaking

Replacing missing teeth with a bridge can significantly improve your ability to chew and speak properly.

2

Maintain Facial Structure

Bridges help prevent the shifting of remaining teeth and support your facial muscles, maintaining your natural facial structure.

3

Enhance Smile Aesthetics

Bridges fill in the gaps in your smile, improving your appearance and boosting your confidence.

4

Long-lasting Solution

With proper care, dental bridges can last for many years.

Types of Dental Bridges

We offer various types of dental bridges to suit your individual needs:

1

Traditional Fixed Bridge

This is the most common type of bridge, where the pontics are supported by dental crowns on the adjacent natural teeth.

2

Cantilever Bridge

This type is used when there are adjacent teeth on only one side of the gap.

3

Maryland Bridge

Also known as a resin-bonded bridge, this option is more conservative and uses metal or porcelain wings that are bonded to the backs of the adjacent teeth.

4

Implant-Supported Bridge

This type of bridge is secured by dental implants, providing the most stable and long-lasting foundation for your replacement teeth.

The Dental Bridge Process at Dieterlen Dental

1. Consultation and Evaluation: We’ll assess your oral health, discuss your needs and preferences, and recommend the most suitable type of dental bridge for you.

2. Preparation: We’ll prepare the abutment teeth by removing a small amount of enamel to accommodate the crowns that will support the bridge.

3. Impressions: We’ll take precise impressions of your teeth to create a custom-fitted bridge.

4. Temporary Bridge: We’ll place a temporary bridge while your permanent bridge is being fabricated.

5. Placement: Once your permanent bridge is ready, we’ll remove the temporary bridge and securely bond the new fixed partial denture in place.
