Gaps in your teeth can be detrimental to your health, not just your confidence. There are a lot of reasons that people can be missing teeth, including injury, extraction, or misalignment. Whatever the reason, dental bridges are an effective way to fill in gaps and ensure your teeth won’t experience further problems – and to ensure you feel comfortable with the way your smile looks. At Uno Dental, we take a relaxed and compassionate approach when it comes to helping you achieve your smile goals and a healthy mouth.
Dental bridges work by filling in the gap with a fabricated tooth supported by the healthy teeth on either side. Once in place, a dental bridge looks and functions just like your natural teeth so you won’t even notice it. Bridges are one of a few options for restoring gaps in your smile, so Dr. Kandar can thoroughly discuss your best options during your appointment at our luxurious San Francisco office.

Treatments like dentures or implants are also options for restoring gaps in your teeth, but bridges are a good option of you still have healthy teeth on either side of the gap. It’s important to partner with a board certified dentist who can walk you through the treatment process and choose the right treatment approach for you and your smile goals. With the right techniques and technologies, bridges can last for many years and function like a natural part of your smile. That’s why we’ll focus on making sure you get comprehensive, long-term results with a pampered experience only San Francisco can offer.
What Can I Expect During Bridge Treatment?
Bridges require a few different appointments with Dr. Kandar. Firstly, you’ll discuss your goals for treatment and undergo a thorough examination. We’ll take scans of your mouth to ensure we create a customized treatment plan that maintains your oral health. Then, the teeth on either side of your gap will be reshaped to accommodate crowns and the bridge. A mold will be taken of the area so that the bridge can be fabricated in a lab, and a temporary bridge will be placed in the meantime.
Once your bridge is ready, you’ll return for placement. Dr. Kandar will check the fit before cementing the bridge in place. Finally, you’ll return again later so Dr. Kandar can check your progress and address any concerns you might have about your fit or function.
How Can I Get the Best Results from My Bridge Treatment?
With the right care, your bridge can last for many years. You should take care of it just like your natural teeth, with brushing, flossing, and cutting back on sugar. You should also see Dr. Kandar regularly for a professional cleaning and to check for any concerns about your bridge. It can be helpful to stick to softer foods for the first few days after your bridge treatment until you get used to it. If you notice any pain or sensitivity around your bridge, you should see our team for an appointment. Our restorative dentistry team can make sure you enjoy a complete, healthy smile for the long term with our best in quality, customized care.
