DENTAL BRIDGE INDIANAPOLIS, IN

Replace one or more missing teeth with a dental bridge in Indianapolis!

All of your teeth play an important role in speaking, chewing and maintaining proper dental alignment. Tooth loss doesn’t necessarily always happen as you age. But if you do lose teeth, replace them to maintain proper function of your mouth. Fortunately, there are several options for correcting tooth loss.


Dental bridges can help you restore your smile and fill gaps in your smile. Visit Cornerstone Family Dentistry for dental bridge services in Indianapolis.

Dental Bridge Options in Indianapolis

A dental bridge, a device used to replace missing teeth, attaches artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth, called abutment teeth. Bridges are either permanently attached (fixed bridges), or they can be removable.

Fixed bridges are applied by either placing crowns on the abutment teeth or by bonding the artificial teeth directly to the abutment teeth.

Removable bridges are attached to the teeth with metal clasps or precision attachments.

If you’re missing one or more teeth, you may experience an impact in  your appearance and dental health. Your teeth work together for many daily functions, from eating to speaking. With missing teeth, it’s difficult to do these things.

Missing teeth can and should be replaced. Fixed bridges are a great way to restore your dental health and appearance.

The Difference Between a Dental Bridge and a Fixed Partial Denture

A bridge (fixed partial denture) is a device which fills the gap where teeth are absent. Fixed bridges are bonded into place and can only be removed by a dental professional. Removable bridges, as the name implies, can be taken out and cleaned. Fixed bridges offer more stability than their removable counterparts.

Why Do I Need a Dental Bridge?

Oral functionality and appearance are important reasons for wearing a bridge. A bridge helps support your lips and cheeks. The loss of a back tooth may cause your mouth to sink and your face to look older.

Dental health is the most important reason for a bridge. Teeth were designed to complement each other. Unusual stresses are placed on the gums and other oral tissues when teeth are missing, causing a number of potentially harmful disorders.

Increased risk of gum disease has proven to be one of the worst side effects of missing teeth and can be minimized with a bridge. Missing teeth can cause speech disorders as they are used to make many of the sounds we use to speak clearly.

How Is a Dental Bridge Attached?

The attachment procedure usually takes two or three appointments to complete. At the first appointment, Dr. Bryan Sigg D.D.S. will prepare the teeth on either side of the gap by removing a portion of the enamel and dentin.

The bridge must be fabricated very precisely to ensure correct bite and to match the opposing tooth. So, the dentist sends impressions of the teeth to a lab that will construct the dental bridge.

Fixed bridges are typically cemented to the natural teeth next to the space left by the missing tooth. A pontic (false tooth) replaces the lost tooth. Dental crowns, which are cemented onto the natural teeth, provide support for the bridge.

How Do I Take Care of a Dental Bridge?

A strict regimen of brushing and flossing will keep the bridge and surrounding teeth clean. This is of critical importance as the bridge relies on the neighboring teeth for support.
