A Complete Smile Starts with Dental Bridges

A full, healthy smile does more than enhance your appearance—it plays a vital role in how you eat, speak, and maintain overall oral health. If you’re missing one or more teeth, dental bridges can help restore your smile completely. At Aurora Borealis Dentistry, we craft high-quality, natural-looking dental bridges that blend seamlessly with your existing teeth for both beauty and function.

What Are Dental Bridges?

Dental bridges are fixed restorations designed to fill the gap left by missing teeth. Each bridge includes artificial teeth supported by crowns placed on natural teeth or implants. Whether you’re missing a single tooth or several in a row, dental bridges can help close the space and restore the integrity of your smile.

Why a Complete Smile Matters

Oral Health Benefits

A complete smile prevents nearby teeth from shifting, which can cause bite problems and tooth wear. Dental bridges help keep your teeth properly aligned and reduce the risk of jaw pain or other complications.

Functional Benefits

Chewing and speaking can become difficult with missing teeth. Dental bridges restore normal function, allowing you to eat your favorite foods and speak clearly without discomfort or embarrassment.

Aesthetic Confidence

Missing teeth can impact self-esteem. Dental bridges can help by restoring your full smile with lifelike, attractive results that give you confidence in social and professional settings.

Our Dental Bridges Process

At Aurora Borealis Dentistry, we ensure that the process of getting dental bridges is efficient, comfortable, and customized to your needs.

Step 1: Consultation and Evaluation

We start with a comprehensive exam to assess your oral health and determine if dental bridges are the best solution for your case.

Step 2: Tooth Preparation

Supporting teeth are gently reshaped to hold the crowns that anchor your dental bridges. This ensures a secure fit and optimal support.

Step 3: Digital Impressions

We use advanced digital scanning to capture precise details of your bite and smile. These scans guide the creation of custom dental bridges tailored to your unique mouth.

Step 4: Temporary Bridge Placement

A temporary bridge will be placed while your permanent dental bridges are being fabricated, allowing you to maintain function and appearance in the meantime.

Step 5: Final Placement and Adjustment

Once your custom dental bridges are ready, we bond them securely in place and make any final adjustments for comfort and proper bite alignment.

Natural Results with Dental Bridges

We use high-quality materials such as porcelain and zirconia to ensure that your dental bridges closely resemble natural teeth in shape, shade, and texture. Our goal is to make your dental bridges not just functional, but beautiful and indistinguishable from the rest of your smile.

Insurance Coverage and Direct Billing

At Aurora Borealis Dentistry, we simplify the financial side of dental care by offering direct insurance billing. Most dental plans cover dental bridges, and we work with all major providers to help you take advantage of your benefits. Our team handles claims and paperwork for you, so you can focus on your care—not your coverage.

Caring for Your Dental Bridges

With the right care, dental bridges can last for many years. Follow these simple tips:

• Brush twice daily and floss carefully, especially around the bridge
• Use floss threaders or water flossers to clean underneath the bridge
• Visit us regularly for exams and professional cleanings
• Avoid chewing hard objects like ice or pens

We’ll provide detailed guidance during your appointments to help you keep your dental bridges in excellent condition.
