At Chaska Family Dental in Chaska, MN we provide fixed dental bridges as a reliable way to replace one or more missing teeth. A bridge consists of one or more custom-made pontics anchored by crowns on neighboring teeth or by implants. This solution restores your smile’s appearance, helps you chew and speak with confidence, and supports the natural contours of your face.
Types of Dental Bridges
We design each bridge to fit your oral health and lifestyle. Options include:
- Traditional bridges, which use crowns on teeth adjacent to the gap with a pontic in between.
- Cantilever bridges, which anchor a pontic to a crown on a single neighboring tooth.
- Maryland bridges, which attach a pontic via a bonded metal or porcelain framework on the backs of adjacent teeth.
- Implant-supported bridges, which rely on dental implants rather than natural teeth for support.
Key Benefits of Dental Bridges
Bridges from our Chaska practice restore chewing and speaking function while preserving facial structure. By filling gaps, they prevent neighboring teeth from drifting and distribute bite forces evenly across your dental arch, helping to safeguard long-term oral health.
What to Expect
Your treatment begins with a comprehensive exam, including digital X-rays or 3D scans to assess bone levels and tooth health. We will discuss your options, prepare the abutment teeth if needed, and take precise impressions. A temporary bridge protects the site while your permanent restoration is fabricated in our dental lab. On your next visit we will fit, adjust, and cement your custom bridge for optimal comfort and function.
Caring for Your Bridge
Maintain twice-daily brushing and daily flossing, paying special attention under the pontic to prevent plaque buildup. Continue routine cleanings every six months so we can monitor the health of your bridge and surrounding teeth.
