So, What Exactly Are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are custom-made artificial teeth, known as pontics, which are anchored onto neighboring teeth or dental implants. For many, they can be the perfect solution for replacing one or more missing teeth, restoring both their function and appearance. At Blu Dental, we utilize state-of-the-art technology to craft bridges that seamlessly match your natural teeth, ensuring a complete smile makeover.

What Are The Benefits of Dental Bridges?
Restoring Functionality and Aesthetics
Your journey to a rejuvenated smile begins with a comprehensive consultation at our offices in Miami. Here, our highly esteemed dentists will conduct a thorough examination of your mouth and assess your overall oral health. This step is crucial in determining if a dental bridge is the best option for you, considering factors like the health of adjacent teeth and any other dental issues.
Preserving Facial Shape and Preventing Misalignment
By filling the gap(s) left by missing teeth, dental bridges prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of position, which can lead to a misaligned bite and a host of other dental issues. Importantly, they also help in maintaining the natural shape of your face – a key part of your personal identity.
Long-Term Oral Health Benefits
Protecting remaining teeth by distributing the pressure of your bite more evenly, dental bridges prevent undue stress on your other teeth, helping to preserve their strength and health and preventing other dental issues down the road. Easy to Maintain. Caring for your dental bridge is as simple as maintaining good oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. This ensures the longevity and effectiveness of your bridge as well as your overall oral health.
What to Expect: Our Step-by-Step Guide to Your Dental Bridge Procedure
The surrounding teeth will require crowns to fit the gap, which will involve the removal of some dentin and enamel. Implants may be used to secure the bridge, in which case they will be implanted into the jaw before the bridge is installed.

Designing Your Custom Bridge
Once you’re deemed a suitable candidate for a dental bridge, the next step is the all-important design process. Utilizing advanced imaging technology, we create a precise model of your mouth. This ensures that your dental bridge is not only a perfect fit but also blends seamlessly with your natural teeth, both in color and shape.
Preparing Your Teeth
For a traditional bridge, the teeth adjacent to the gap (abutment teeth) are prepared by reshaping them to accommodate the dental bridge. This involves removing some of the enamel to allow for a crown to be placed over these teeth, which will help to provide optimal support for the bridge.
Temporary Bridge Fitting
While your custom bridge is being meticulously crafted, a temporary bridge is fitted to protect your exposed teeth and gums. This also gives you the opportunity to slowly adjust to the feel of having a bridge in your mouth
Permanent Bridge Placement
Once your custom bridge is ready, we invite you back to our office for the final placement. This is when the temporary bridge is removed, and your new bridge is carefully checked for fit and comfort before being permanently affixed in place.
