Questions for Your Lithia, FL Dentist
We are happy to answer questions about our services and procedures.
These are a selection of some common questions that patients have. If your question isn't answered here, please contact our office. It's important to us that our patients understand their dental care.
Fixed Bridges
A dental bridge is a very effective solution for filling the space left by a missing tooth. It is basically a single dental restoration that usually includes two dental crowns and a replacement tooth (pontic) that fills the empty space. The dental crowns are secured to adjacent teeth on either side of the empty space and provide support for the artificial tooth.
Why Choose a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge restores your ability to chew and speak properly by evenly distributing the force of your bite. Beyond the aesthetic benefit of a custom-shaded, complete smile, it also prevents your remaining teeth from shifting out of place, which protects you from future orthodontic or jaw issues.
Bridge the Gap in Your Smile
Missing teeth can affect your confidence and your health. Contact our team so we can help you determine if a custom bridge is the right solution to restore your smile's strength and beauty.
Dental bridge costs vary by patient and bridge type. Your dentist will discuss our dental bridges with you and help you make an informed decision for your dental health and budget.
Typically, dental bridges have a lower up-front cost than dental implants, but may be more expensive than dentures. Fortunately, many insurance plans cover some or all of the cost of dental bridge work. You can contact your insurance carrier, or a member of our dental team is happy to evaluate your insurance plan and help you navigate the fine print.
Besides your insurance plan, we’re happy to work with CareCredit and Cherry (third-party financing companies that help our valued patients budget their dental care over time). Many programs are interest-free, and we can help you apply.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a replacement for one or more missing teeth, supported by dental crowns and held in place as a single unit. Your dentist uses crowns to cap adjacent teeth, allowing the artificial teeth to fill the gaps in your smile. A dental bridge may also be one or more replacement teeth secured to the jaw with a dental implant post.
We design our dental bridges to look natural while restoring function.
