Restore Your Smile with Dental Bridges in Arlington, VA

A dental bridge is an effective solution to replace one or more missing teeth.

Replacing missing teeth is important to avoid additional oral health issues. Teeth on either side of the gap can tilt or shift into the empty space.

Made to match the appearance of your existing teeth, a bridge is a long-lasting and effective solution to replace missing teeth and restore your smile.

A dental bridge is supported by the teeth on either side of the empty space. Adjacent teeth and gums will need to be healthy for an effective bridge treatment. Your dentist in Arlington will advise you if a bridge is right for you during your initial consultation.

What is the treatment for a dental bridge?

A tooth bridge treatment is generally carried out over two appointments. Digital impressions of your teeth will be taken which are then used to create custom-made replacement teeth.

Your Arlington dentist will then prepare the teeth that will support the bridge. Temporary crowns may be fitted while the bridge is being made.

Having a similar visual aspect to natural teeth, porcelain is crafted into replacement teeth. We use a state-of-the-art dental laboratory that creates the highest quality dental bridges.

You will enjoy more comfortable eating, improved oral hygiene and a confident smile. We are located in Arlington, but we proudly serve the dental patients of Crystal City and D.C.

How long will a dental bridge last?

A dental bridge is a long-term solution to replacing missing teeth. With proper care and maintenance, a dental bridge can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years, and sometimes even longer. The lifespan of a dental bridge largely depends on your oral hygiene habits and the health of your surrounding teeth. Regular check-ups with your dentist at Dentazure will ensure your dental bridge is in good condition and functioning properly. Dr. Rima Kanbaragha is an expert in dental bridge procedures and she will provide guidance on how to care for your dental bridge to ensure its longevity.

How painful is a dental bridge?

The procedure for getting a dental bridge is typically not painful. At Dentazure, we prioritize your comfort and strive to make every procedure as pain-free as possible. During the procedure, Dr. Rima Kanbaragha will use local anesthesia to numb the area where the dental bridge will be placed, which significantly reduces any discomfort. After the procedure, there may be some mild soreness or sensitivity, but this is temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.

How do I clean a dental bridge?

Maintaining a clean dental bridge is essential for its longevity and for your overall oral health. You can clean your dental bridge just like you would clean your natural teeth, with a few additional steps. Brush your teeth twice a day and floss daily. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a non-abrasive toothpaste. In addition to regular brushing and flossing, it’s important to clean under the dental bridge. You can use a floss threader or a special bridge-cleaning brush to clean the hard-to-reach areas under the bridge. Regular check-ups at Dentazure will also help keep your dental bridge clean and in good condition.

How much does a dental bridge cost?

The cost of a dental bridge can vary widely depending on several factors. These factors include the materials used, the complexity of the placement, the number of teeth needed to fill the gap, and your dental insurance coverage.
